No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of telemedicine video-consultation (TVC) on the frequency of hospital re-admissions during 12 months follow-up after TVC among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our secondary aims were to assess the impact of TVC on the length of recurrent hospital stays and time to re-admission within 12 months follow-up after TVC. We also wanted to evaluate the patient satisfaction related to TVC.

Conditions

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Interventions

DEVICE

Telemedicine video-consultation (TVC)

All patients enrolled in the study, were previously monitored by TVC, and the number and length of hospital stays within 6 and 12 months following TVC were compared to similar numbers before TVC in comparable time periods. Thus, TVC is actually not to be considered as an intervention.
