The effect of telemedicine employing telemonitoring instruments on readmissions of patients with heart failure and/or COPD: a systematic review by Georgios M. Stergiopoulos, Anissa N. Elayadi, Edward S. Chen, Panagis Galiatsatos

“…Examination of prospective studies focusing on all-cause readmission resulted in the observation of a clearer association in the reduction of all-cause readmissions in patients with COPD compared to patients with HF (100% vs. 8%).ConclusionsThis systematic review suggests that current telemedicine interventions employing telemonitoring instruments can decrease the readmission rates of patients with COPD, but most likely do not impact the readmission-related burden of the HF population. Implementation of novel telemonitoring technologies and conduct of more high-quality studies as well as studies of populations with ≥2 chronic disease are necessary to draw definitive conclusions.Systematic Review RegistrationThis study is registered at the International Platform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Protocols (INPLASY), identifier (INPLASY202460097).…”
