Filter by:Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations with multiple chronic conditions have high rates of nonadherence to essential chronic disease medications after hospital discharge. Medication nonadherence after hospital discharge is significantly associated with increased mortality and higher rates of readmissions and costs among these patients. Major patient-reported barriers to essential medication use after hospital discharge among low-income individuals are related to social determinants of health (SDOH) and include: 1) financial barriers , 2) transportation barriers, and 3) system-level barriers. Although, medication therapy management services are important during care transitions, these services have not proven effective in improving medication adherence after hospital discharge, highlighting a critical need for innovative interventions. The Medication Affordability, Accessibility, and Availability in Care Transitions (Med AAAction) Study will test the effectiveness of a pharmacy-led care transitions intervention versus usual care through a pragmatic randomized controlled trial of 388 Medicaid and uninsured hospital in-patients with MCC from three large healthcare systems in Tennessee. The intervention will involve: 1) medications with zero copay, 2) bedside delivery then home delivery of medications, and 3) care coordination provided by certified pharmacy technicians/health coaches to assist with medication access, medication reconciliation, and rapid and ongoing primary care follow-up. We will examine the impact of the intervention during 12 months on 1) medication adherence (primary outcome) and 2) rapid primary care follow-up, 30-day readmissions, hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and costs. We will conduct key informant interviews to understand patient experience with the acre received during and after care transitions. By examining effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes including medication adherence, health care utilization, costs, and patient experience, this study will provide valuable results to health systems, payers, and policymakers to assist in future implementation and sustainability of the intervention for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations.
Around 50% of infants born extremely preterm develop a chronic lung disease known as bronchopulmonary dysplasia of which some infants will also develop pulmonary hypertension of which 50% of children will die before the age of 2. Physicians are currently limited in their ability to select the most appropriate oxygen targets that will improve outcomes in infants with this condition. This clinical trial will determine whether using different amounts of oxygen improve outcomes in infants with this disease.
A pragmatic observational proof-of-concept study which aims to determine the feasibility of a remote titration clinic, assisted by home blood pressure monitoring and digital solutions, and assess its impact on real-world outcomes. By incorporating home blood pressure monitoring, the study seeks to offer a promising solution for personalised drug titration and self-management, potentially enhancing patient outcomes while optimising Zestril utilisation
This study is a multi-centre, non-interventional, observational, prospective study with retrospective analysis. The main purpose of the study is to describe the rate of CKD diagnosis in patients with AH and CKD markers. This study will include 10 000 adult outpatients with arterial hypertension, who have one or more Chronic Kidney Disease laboratory markers (without recorded CKD diagnosis prior to enrolment) and have no diabetes mellitus or chronic heart failure, who are monitored and treated by cardiologists or internal medicine specialists in approximately 50 outpatient sites in about 20 regions in Russia. This observational study does not provide for any diagnostic and therapeutic procedures other than those used in routine practice.
This study aims to determine the acute effects of high and low-intensity strength training on cardiac autonomic control in hypertensive subjects
The present study, OBPM_Calfree2024, with N = 85 participants minimum over 1 visit (lasting around 1h), has been designed to collect raw optical data with Aktiia.product-G2C Clinical investigational system together with several reference systems within a cohort of subjects characterized by a wide variety of phenotypes.
The goal of this implementation science study is to design evidence based and stakeholder informed implementation strategies to integrate the management of hypertension (HTN) into existing community anti-retro-viral treatment (ART) delivery models of HIV care in Uganda and evaluate their effectiveness and implementation outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the perspectives of patients (hypertensive PLHIV) on integrating hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care? 2. What are the perspectives of health care providers', district leaders', and policymakers' perspectives on integrating hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care? 3. What implementation strategies would support integration of the management of hypertension into existing community ART delivery models in Uganda? 4. What is the effectiveness of implementation strategies to integrate the management of hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care in Uganda? 5. What are the implementation outcomes of strategies to integrate hypertension care in community ART delivery models of HIV care in Uganda? 6. What is the cumulative incidence, types and severity of HTN medication-related adverse events and their predictors among PLHIV with HTN? Investigators will use qualitative research methods to explore key stakeholders' perspectives and preferences on integrating hypertension care in community ART delivery models in Uganda; design implementation strategies that integrate the management of hypertension into existing community ART delivery models; determine the effectiveness of implementation strategies that integrate the management of hypertension in community ART delivery models; evaluate implementation outcomes of strategies that integrate hypertension care in community ART delivery models; determine the cumulative incidence, types and severity of medication-related adverse events and their predictors; and assess the patients and provider costs, health related quality of life, cost-effectiveness of leveraging existing HIV differentiated service delivery models to screen and treat HTN among persons with HIV in Uganda.
The aim of the study is to observe the change of the circulating MrgD level in patients with pulmonary hypertension compared with subjects without pulmonary hypertension.
A randomized trial of remote blood pressure monitoring, compared to usual care, in patients receiving bevacizumab to determine whether remote blood pressure monitoring improves the collection of blood pressure data, identification and management of clinically significant hypertension, and patient satisfaction.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate a culturally tailored computerized education program in hospitalized African-American patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The main question it aims to answer are: does computerized adaptive education (CAE) increase patients' knowledge about CKD self-care and renal replacement therapy (RRT) options compared to usual care (UC) and will CAE will be increase patients' intent to participate in CKD self-care and RRT preparation compared to UC
