Economic Evaluation & Communication in Remote Monitoring of People With

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to estimate the outcomes in health and cost of the follow-up of patients with pacemakers.

The initial hypothesize of this study is that remote monitoring of pacemaker will show a best relation of outcomes in costs and effectiveness than the conventional follow-up in hospital.

Clinical Trial Description

Cardiovascular Diseases are a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, being responsible according to the World Health Organization of the 30% of overall mortality.

Since 2001 that the first pacemaker of remote monitoring was implanted in Europe, more than 300,000 pacemaker have been implanted around the world. Despite this sharp expansion, the scientific evidence on economic evaluations of pacemaker with remote monitoring is very limited, and in our knowledge, studies including informal costs have not been conducted.

In the field of cardiology, telemedicine allows consultations with patients through monitoring systems and remote communication analyzing the ongoing heart rates of people with pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization therapy and subcutaneous Holter. The use of remote monitoring may save time and efforts to both healthcare professionals and patients, including their informal caregivers, reducing the number of follow up visits to the hospital and reducing the associated costs with patient follow-up, which will help to improve sustainability of healthcare services.

During the 06 months of study, the patients with implant of pacemakers of both groups will be assessed of the same parameters, in 3 different moments (pre-implant and months 1, and 6 post-implantation).

Pacemakers that are going to be used in the project:

1. Remote monitoring group: Biotronik Estella SR-T and DR-T & Biotronik Evia SR-T and DR-T.

2. Hospital monitoring group: St Jude Medical Endurity SR and DR & Sorin Reply 200 SR and DR.

The study will estimate: 1) The Clinical features of the patients. 2) The effectiveness through of administration of Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaires and 3) Finally, hospital and informal costs of patients with pacemakers will be estimated by the researches. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
