Abstract
Aim: The quasi-experimental AKtiV study investigates the effects inpatient-equivalent home treatment (IEHT). This paper describes the study population based on demographic and clinical parameters at baseline and compares the index treatment.
Methods: Over a period of 12 months 200 IEHT users were included in the intervention group (IG) and 200 inpatients were included in the control group (CG). The comparability of the two groups was ensured by propensity score matching (PSM).
Results: In addition to the PSM variables, IG and CG did not differ significantly from each other variables at study inclusion. The duration of the index treatment was significantly longer in the IG (M=37.2 days) compared to the CG (M=27.9 days; p<0.001).
Conclusion: The similarity of the two groups enables comparisons over 12 months, investigating IEHT effects on long-term outcomes.
