Abstract
Background: Home-time is an emerging, patient-centered outcome that represents the amount of time a patient spends alive and outside of health care facility settings, comprising of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and acute rehabilitation centers. Studies evaluating home-time in the context of heart failure are limited, and the impact of quality improvement interventions on home-time has not been studied.
Methods: Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 years or older who were hospitalized for heart failure in the Get With the Guidelines-Heart Failure registry between 2019 and 2021 were included. Postdischarge home-time, mortality, and readmission rates at 30 days and 1 year were calculated with the goal of establishing baseline metrics before the initiation of IMPLEMENT-HF, a multicenter quality improvement program aimed at improving heart failure management.
Results: Overall, 66 019 patients were included across 437 sites. Median 30-day and 1-year home-time were 30 (18-30) and 333 (139-362) days, respectively. Only 22.1% of patients experienced 100% home-time in the year after discharge. Older patients spent significantly less time at home, with a median 1-year home-time of 302 (86-359) compared with 345 (211-365) days in patients over 85 and those between 65 and 74 years old, respectively (P<0.001). Black patients also experienced the least amount of home-time with only 328 (151-360) days at 1-year follow-up. Rates of heart failure readmission and all-cause mortality 1-year post-discharge were high at 29.8% and 37.0%, respectively.
Conclusions: In this contemporary multicenter cohort, patients hospitalized with heart failure spent a median of 91.2% of their time in the year after discharge alive and at home, largely driven by high mortality rates. These findings serve as a preimplementation baseline for IMPLEMENT-HF, which will evaluate the impact of targeted heart failure initiatives on home-time and other clinical outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Circulation: Heart Failure focuses on content related to heart failure, mechanical circulatory support, and heart transplant science and medicine. It considers studies conducted in humans or analyses of human data, as well as preclinical studies with direct clinical correlation or relevance. While primarily a clinical journal, it may publish novel basic and preclinical studies that significantly advance the field of heart failure.
