Study objective: Remote monitoring (RM) can help patients with heart failure (HF) remain free of hospitalization. Our objective was to implement a patient-centered RM program that ensured timely clinical response, which would be associated with reduced mortality. Design: This was a retrospective, observational, propensity-matched study. Setting: A large regional health system between 9/1/2016–1/31/2018. Participants: Patients admitted with acute HF exacerbation were matched on key variables. Up to two comparison patients were selected for each RM user. Interventions: We used an algorithmic approach to assess daily physiologic data, assess symptoms, provide patient education, encourage patient self-management, and triage medical problems. Main outcome measures: We assessed all-cause mortality using Kaplan-Meier and log rank analysis. We used Cox proportional hazards to compare risk of death. Results: Our cohort of 680 RM users and 1198 comparisons were similar across baseline characteristics except age (74.7 years versus 76.6 years, p |
