The value of Continuous Remote Monitoring in Clinical Decision Making After Same-day Discharge Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.

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
introductionRemote assessment of patients after same-day discharge metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) might be improved by continuous remote monitoring (CRM), because it provides heart and respiratory rate (HR, RR), alongside patient complaints. This study aimed to evaluate the added value of CRM on clinical decision making in the remote assessment of patients after same-day discharge MBS.
methodsA nationwide survey among MBS healthcare professionals (n = 23) evaluated the clinical applicability of remote monitoring with general questions and its influence on clinical decision making using fictitious patient cases. Additionally, in a retrospective cohort study (n = 213), current remote patient assessment, HR and RR, technical sensor performance and patient satisfaction in (non-)readmitted patients who underwent same-day discharge MBS was evaluated.
resultsThe survey showed that HR and RR along with complaints does not lead to uniform treatment policies, and only 54% of healthcare professionals always use CRM vital signs in patient assessment. The cohort study shows that CRM data was used in only 20% of remote patient assessments, however when CRM data was used, all patients with normal data but with complaints were still referred to the emergency department. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were found in HR and RR between readmitted (n = 14) and non-readmitted patients (n = 199), 49% of HR and 43% of RR data were missing and 72% of patients would have undergone same-day discharge MBS without CRM.
conclusionFor this specific low-risk population, CRM did not appear to influence clinical decision making after same-day discharge MBS, under the current implementation conditions.
