Condition: Heart Failure · Sponsor: Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital
In Ghana, about 88.3 per cent of cardiac admissions are due to Heart failure, making it the leading cause of admission due to heart conditions. Despite improved knowledge on heart failure and an increasing array of evidence-based guideline treatment options, there is still a significant readmission rate worldwide. This may be due to the underutilization of these evidence-based therapies or a lack of proper follow-up on these patients. Recurrent hospital admission is an independent predictor of death in heart failure. Strategies aimed at providing increased support at discharge and effective follow-up may be associated with lower readmission risk. This study aims to assess the effect of extensive post-discharge counselling and effective phone-based follow-up on the 30-day and 90-day heart failure readmission rate at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. This is a single-centre, pilot randomised controlled trial of heart failure patients admitted to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital
