Does evidence-based continuity of care reduce the recurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events in elderly patients following cardiovascular interventional procedures?
Evidence-based continuity of care significantly reduces postoperative MACE and improves quality of life, medication adherence, and psychological well-being in elderly patients following cardiovascular interventions.
This study aimed to investigate the impact of evidence-based continuity of care (EBCC) on the recurrence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) following interventional procedures in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease. A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 210 patients who underwent cardiovascular interventions at our hospital between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the care method received: an EBCC group (n = 94) and a conventional care group (n = 116). Over a 12-month postoperative period, we assessed the incidence of MACE, quality of life, medication adherence, functional status, psychological well-being, and satisfaction with care. The incidence of MACE was significantly lower in the EBCC group compared to the conventional care group. Patients receiving continuity of care also demonstrated significant improvements in quality of life, medication adherence, functional status, and psychological health. Satisfaction with nursing care was notably higher in the continuity of care group. EBCC effectively reduces the incidence of postoperative MACE in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease. It enhances quality of life, medication adherence, psychological well-being, and patient satisfaction, thereby promoting comprehensive postoperative recovery.
Chen et al. (Fri,) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular disease following interventional procedures (n=210). Evidence-based continuity of care (EBCC) vs. Conventional care was evaluated on Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). In a cohort of 210 elderly patients, evidence-based continuity of care significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative MACE compared to conventional care over a 12-month period.
