Does automated daily screening of CRT-D diagnostics via Home Monitoring predict cardiovascular hospitalization and death in heart failure patients?
Effect estimate: RR 7.15
An automated algorithm using daily CRT-D diagnostic data can predict cardiovascular hospitalizations and death with high specificity, potentially allowing for early intervention.
Sack et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=377). Automated daily screening of CRT-D diagnostics (predictive algorithm) vs. Negative predictor finding was evaluated on Cardiovascular hospitalization and death (RR 7.15). An automated predictive algorithm using daily CRT-D diagnostic data detected cardiovascular hospitalizations and deaths with 65.4% sensitivity and 99.5% specificity (RR 7.15).
