Clinical Trial Summary

We tested the effect of informational postcards on improving remote monitoring adherence among Veterans with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in a stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial.


Clinical Trial Description

Objective: To test the effect of informational postcards on remote monitoring adherence among Veterans with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs). Design/Patients: Stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial among Veterans with pacemakers and ICDs. Intervention: In wave 1, Veterans who had sent at least 1 transmission within the past 2 years but had become non-adherent were randomly assigned to receive a postcard or no postcard. Those receiving postcards were randomized to 1 of 2 messages: 1) a "warning" postcard describing risks of non-adherence or 2) an "encouraging" postcard describing benefits of adherence. In wave 2, Veterans who had either not received a postcard in wave 1 or had since become non-adherent were mailed a postcard (again, randomized to 1 of 2 messages). Patients who did not send a remote monitoring transmission within 1 month were mailed a second, identical postcard. Main Measures: Proportion of patients who sent a transmission within 70 days. ;
