Use of a homecare electronic health record to find associations between patient characteristics and re-hospitalizations in patients with heart failure using telehealth.
Article in Journal of telemedicine and telecare, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Data from homecare electronic health records were used to explore the association of patient characteristics with re-hospitalizations of patients with heart failure (HF) during a 60-day period of telemonitoring following hospital discharge. Data from 403 Medicare patients with HF who had used telehealth from 2008 to 2010 were analysed. There were 112 all-cause (29%) and 73 cardiac-related (19%) re-hospitalizations within 60 days of the start of telemonitoring. In adjusted analyses, the patients' number of medications and type of cardiac medications were significantly (P < 0.05) associated with an increased risk of re-hospitalization. After stratifying the sample by illness severity, age and gender, other significant (P < 0.05) predictors associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiac re-hospitalization were psychiatric co-morbidity, pulmonary and obesity co-morbidities within gender, beta blocker prescription in females and primary HF diagnosis in the oldest age stratum. The study's findings may assist homecare agencies seeking to allocate resources without compromising patient care.
