Main Findings : The results indicate that an intervention involving any human factor principles may nearly double an individual ’s probability of not being readmitted .
Principal Conclusions : Interventions with human factor principles reduce readmissions among HF patients .
Background : Human factors play an important role in health-care outcomes of heart failure ( HF ) patients .
A systematic review and meta- analysis of clinical trial studies on HF hospitalization may yield positive proofs of the beneficial effect of specific care management strategies .
Purpose : To investigate how the 8 guiding principles of choice , rest , environment , activity , trust , interpersonal relationships , outlook , and nutrition reduce HF readmissions .
[Curative effects on standardized management of community patients with coronary heart disease complicated with chronic heart failure].
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects on the st and ardized management of patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease complicated with chronic heart failure . METHODS A total of 823 patients discharged from our department were r and omly enrolled . Among 734 patients with follow-up consents , they were divided into management and control groups ( n = 440 , 294 ) . The management group received st and ardized out-of-hospital management , regular health education and follow-ups of telephone and outpatient visits . RESULTS Compared with the control group , the management group had lower rates of all-cause mortality , cardiac death and readmission due to cardiovascular events ( CVE ) declining by 26.5 % , 32.2 % and 57.0 % respectively . Over a 4-year period , the annular survival rate of management group was 92 % , 85 % , 83 % and 82 % while that of control group 95 % , 89 % , 82 % and 75 % respectively . Patient compliance of digoxin and diuretics in the control group was inferior to that in the management group . CONCLUSION Through st and ardized out-of-hospital management , the patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease plus chronic heart failure may achieve significant benefits through reducing the rates of all-cause mortality , cardiac death and readmission due to CVE and improving survival rate
