Heart Failure Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomised, Controlled Trial of an Interactive CD-Program on 6 Months Readmission Rate in Patients With Heart Failure
The purpose of this study is to determine whether extra education of patients with chronic heart failure can reduce 6 months readmission rate to hospital.
The prevalence of heart failure (HF) has increased in the western world and is a major
concern due to increasing prevalence and rising health care costs. The prognosis remains
poor despite improvement in survival due to treatment with ACE-inhibitors and beta-receptor
antagonists. HF has a high rate of readmission and hospitalisation. Some readmissions are
ascribed to patients’ lack of compliance, insufficient knowledge about diet, medication and
symptoms of heart failure. Education of patients has become an important component in order
to increase the patients’ self-care and compliance. Intense education and counselling of
patients is recommended in both European and American guidelines for HF.
Several systematic reviews of studies on strategies for improvement of outcomes of heart
failure patients after discharge have been published, but very little emphasis has been put
on methodological issues, e.g. methods of education. In most programs the methods and
equipment used for education and information have only consisted of verbal and written
material; computer-based tools seem to be relatively new.
Interactive CD-ROM programs for HF patients can increase patients’ knowledge about heart
failure and its treatment. However, no studies have examined the clinical outcome, e.g. rate
of readmission.
Comparison: Extra educated patients (interactive CD-ROM education) compared to standard
educated patients on readmission rate or death during 6 months.
