Remote Monitoring in Heart Failure: What National Real-World Data Can Tell Us
ABSTRACT:
Study at a glance
- Publication type: National, propensity-weighted observational cohort study
- What it examined: TELESAT-HF compared a remote monitoring programme with standard care using French national health data collected between 2018 and 2022.
- Key point: After weighting, the analysis included 5,357 participants receiving the programme and 13,525 receiving standard care. The programme combined symptom and weight monitoring, tailored web education and nurse telephone monitoring for people less comfortable with digital tools.
Why it matters
Real-world studies can illuminate how services operate at scale, but observed associations are not the same as causal effects from a randomized trial.
