Clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ambulatory heart failure nurse-led services: an integrated review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Globally the burden of heart failure is rising. Hospitalisation is one of the main contributors to the burden of heart failure and unfortunately, the majority of heart failure patients will experience multiple hospitalisations over their lifetime. Considering the high health care cost associated with heart failure, a review of economic evaluations of post-discharge heart failure services is warranted.

Aim

An integrated review of the economic evaluations of post-discharge nurse-led heart failure services for patients hospitalised with acute heart failure.
