Popis: The impact of remote patient monitoring platforms to support the postoperative care of solid organ transplant recipients is evolving. In an observational pilot study, 28 lung transplant recipients were enrolled in a novel postdischarge home monitoring program and compared to 28 matched controls during a 2‐year period. Primary endpoints included hospital readmissions and total days readmitted. Secondary endpoints were survival and inflation‐adjusted hospital readmission charges. In univariate analyses, monitoring was associated with reduced readmissions (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.56; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41‐0.76; P
The use of a novel remote monitoring platform to supplement the postdischarge care of lung transplant recipients reduces hospital readmissions, total readmission days, and readmission charges.
