Healthcare costs of a telemonitoring programme for heart failure: indirect deterministic data linkage analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

We aim to evaluate the costs associated with healthcare resource consumption for chronic heart failure (HF) management in patients allocated to telemonitoring versus standard of care (SC).

Methods and results

OSICAT-ECO involved 745 patients from the OSICAT trial (NCT02068118) who were successfully linked to the French national healthcare database through an indirect deterministic data linkage approach. OSICAT compared a telemonitoring programme with SC follow-up in adults hospitalized for acute HF ≤ 12 months. Healthcare resource costs included those related to hospital and ambulatory expenditure for HF and were restricted to direct costs determined from the French health data system over 18 months of follow-up. Most of the total costs (69.4%) were due to hospitalizati
