Key result
Implementation of a multidisciplinary heart failure team approach was associated with a reduced hazard of 30-day all-cause ED visits, hospitalizations, or death (HR 0.59; 95% CI 0.37-0.96; P=0.04).
Why the study?
Evidence supporting early postdischarge hospital follow-up in patients hospitalized with heart failure is limited.
Does a multidisciplinary early follow-up intervention reduce 30-day all-cause ED visits, hospitalizations, or death in patients hospitalized with heart failure?
Population
261 patients hospitalized with HF
Comparison
Multidisciplinary postdischarge HF team approach vs preintervention period
Design
Pre- vs postintervention study using the RE-AIM framework
Follow-up
30 days

Supports multidisciplinary early HF follow-up; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Cohort (n=261)
Does a multidisciplinary early follow-up intervention reduce 30-day all-cause ED visits, hospitalizations, or death in patients hospitalized with heart failure?
Hazard Ratio: 0.59 (95% CI 0.37–0.96)
p-value: p=0.04
A multidisciplinary early follow-up intervention after heart failure hospitalization significantly increased 7-day cardiology follow-up rates and reduced the 30-day risk of ED visits, hospitalizations, or death.
Sandesh Dev (2021) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=261). Multidisciplinary heart failure team approach vs. Preintervention period was evaluated on 30-day composite outcome (all-cause emergency department visit, all-cause hospitalization, or death) (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.37-0.96, p=0.04). Implementation of a multidisciplinary heart failure team approach was associated with a reduced hazard of 30-day all-cause ED visits, hospitalizations, or death (HR 0.59; 95% CI 0.37-0.96; P=0.04).
