Filter by:This is a dissertation study which is divided into three different studies in order to answer the main research question (Study 3). The primary aim of this research (dissertation) is to investigate all-cause 30-day hospital readmission using functional mobility (5mWT, 30STS, 6MWT, TUG), psychosocial attributes (KCCQ-12, HADS, ESSI), adherence to home exercise program, participation in a supervised exercise program, and number of follow up checkups with physicians or advanced health providers of patients with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) diagnosis who were discharged from a tertiary teaching hospital. Study 1: What is the effect of acute physical therapy on functional ability in individuals admitted with ADHF? Study 2: What is the effect of acute physical therapy on psychosocial attributes in individuals admitted with ADHF? Study 3: Which factors such as functional mobility (5mWT, 30STS, 6MWT, TUG), psychosocial attributes (KCCQ-12, HADS, ESSI), adherence to home exercise program, participation in a supervised exercise program, and number of follow up checkups with physicians or advanced health providers predict all-cause 30-day hospital readmission in patients discharged from a tertiary, teaching hospital with ADHF diagnosis?
This study compares the effectiveness of two different approaches to advance care planning among older African Americans and older Whites living in the community. The two approaches are a structured approach with an advance care planning conversation led by a trained person using Respecting Choices (First Steps) and a patient-driven approach which includes a Five Wishes advance care planning form written in plain language. The study will determine which approach is more effective at increasing advance care planning within each racial group and reducing differences between the two groups in advance care planning.
This is an investigational study of experimental Medication BMS-986231 given to participants with weakened or damaged liver function.
Objectives: Objective of this project are to create several clinical prediction rules (CPR) to stratify patients into different prognostic levels: on arrival at the emergency room, at hospital discharge, in the evolution at 90 days, and up to 1 year; for clinical parameters (mortality, complications, readmissions) and the evolution of the patient health related quality of life. Additional objectives include the analysis of equity in access, continuity of care after discharge, costs, psychosocial support received, and variability in clinical decisions and in the results obtained from inclusion in the study after the visit to the emergency room until 1 year of follow-up. Methods: Prospective observational cohort study with a one year follow-up. Multicenter and coordinated study with 9 hospital in Spain. This project will include around 1000 patients diagnosed of heart failure who come to emergency services of these hospitals, whether discharge home or admitted to the hospital. Multiple parameters (about the process of care, clinical outcomes, and quality of life), will be retrieved in the emergency room visits, admission, discharge and up to one year follow up after discharge. This project bases its work in the large number of variables to be collected and would not be viable with few centers, so centers from other communities will collaborate providing more cases. Statistical analysis using multivariate logistic regression models or Cox or general linear models or multilevel analysis will derive the CPR in a subsample of the original sample which will be validated in another different subsample.
To investigate the effects of intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 16 and 32 mg on QT/QTc interval in healthy male subjects
This study was designed to determine the potential benefits that individuals with heart failure (HF) could experience from using a mobile application.
Observational study of elderly individuals diagnosed with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure who are beginning oral blood thinners
The study aims to explore two marketed devices providing a multimarker monitoring including physical activity under real-life conditions in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It aims to identify potential novel endpoints for future heart failure trials by exploring clinically relevant changes over time and correlations/associations with conventional endpoints such as the six minute walking distance (6MWD), biomarkers and clinical events. Furthermore, it aims to address the challenges and feasibility of implementing device based measurements under real-life conditions.
To determine biomarker responses to Entresto™in patients with Heart Failure with preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) and who have high or low serum neprilysin (NEP) levels.
This clinical research study is being conducted in multiple hospitals in Belgium and approximately 519 patients with acute decompensated heart failure are expected to participate. Large-scale research shows that 90% of the physicians treat volume overload with high doses of loop diuretics. However, there is not a lot of scientific data available regarding the optimal doses of these diuretic medications. In addition, it is observed that a lot of people, treated with these drugs, are being readmitted to the hospital due to a new episode of heart failure. The hypothesis of this study is that the volume overload could be better treated when patients receive a combination of different types of diuretics. Additionally, the total dose of the administrated diuretics might be lower this way.
