Nurse Assisted Post-discharge Intervention in Decompensated Cirrhosis — NurseAID  

Liver Cirrhosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Post-discharge Nurse-driven Intervention Program for Patients With Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis

Clinical Trial Summary

In a randomized controlled trial, the effects of a nurse-driven post-discharge intervention for patients with liver cirrhosis compared with standard follow-up will be investigated.

Clinical Trial Description

Since 1970 the mortality from cirrhosis has increased with 26.7 %, with a 50% mortality rate within 2 years of diagnosis. Grave complications result in functional impairment and reduced quality of life. 20-37 % of patients with liver cirrhosis are readmitted less than 30 days after a hospitalization for decompensation. These patients have a higher 90-day mortality rate than those who avoid readmission. Re-admissions have great personal-, societal- and economic consequences. In a randomized controlled trial, the effects of a nurse-driven post-discharge intervention for patients with liver cirrhosis, compared with standard follow-up will be investigated. The intervention, based on concepts from Family Nursing, will comprise three home-visits within eight weeks after discharge including therapeutic conversations focusing on strengthening participants' family relationships and social networks, disease education and help to initiate contact to municipal offers. After 12 weeks the participants will be followed-up by telephone. ;
