Does post-discharge Short Message Service (SMS) reduce 180 day composite events and improve self-care behaviour in Chronic Heart Failure patients?
Post-discharge SMS is an efficient intervention that reduces 180-day composite events and improves self-care behavior in chronic heart failure patients.
May support SMS in CHF discharge planning; hypothesis-generating, needing RCTs to confirm versus STS.
In CHF patients, post-discharge SMS, which appeared as efficient as STS, reduced the 180 day composite event and improved self-care behaviour. SMS intervention could be integrated into CHF management.
