Key result
Cardio-geriatric care model fails to reduce 30-day readmissions in elderly patients with ADHF.
Why the study?
A cardio-geriatric heart failure model of care was implemented to address high readmission rates in elderly acute decompensated heart failure patients.
Does a cardio-geriatric model of care reduce all cause readmissions at 30 days in elderly acute decompensated heart failure patients?
Does a cardio-geriatric model of care reduce all cause readmissions at 30 days in elderly acute decompensated heart failure patients?
Implementation of a multidisciplinary cardio-geriatric model of care did not reduce 30-day all-cause readmissions in elderly patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
Does not support cardio-geriatric models for reducing 30-day readmissions; leaves open whether targeted implementation benefits select elderly HF patients.
A 'cardio-geriatric' heart failure model of care was implemented to address the high rates of readmission in elderly acute decompensated heart failure patients. Despite demonstrably intensified management in both the cardiology and geriatric domains, this study did not demonstrate a positive effect on the primary outcome of all cause readmissions at 30 days.
