Structured PICO

Does nurse-led care reduce cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality in ambulatory patients with atrial fibrillation compared to usual care by a cardiologist?

Population
Ambulatory patients with atrial fibrillation
I
Intervention
Nurse-led integrated chronic care
C
Comparator
Usual care provided by a cardiologist (routine clinical care)
O
Outcome
Cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortalityhard clinical

Nurse-led integrated chronic care is superior to routine cardiologist care in reducing cardiovascular hospitalizations and mortality in ambulatory patients with atrial fibrillation.

Abstract

Nurse-led care of patients with AF is superior to usual care provided by a cardiologist in terms of cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality. Trial registration information: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier number: NCT00391872.
