Remote Vital Sign Monitoring in Admission Avoidance Hospital at Home: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To examine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of "hospital at home" (HAH) for admission avoidance in adults presenting with acute physical illness to identify the use of vital sign monitoring approaches and evidence for their effectiveness.

Design: Systematic review.

Setting And Participants: This review compared strategies for vital sign monitoring in admission avoidance HAH for adults presenting with acute physical illness.

Assessment of glycaemic status in adult hospital patients for the detection of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus: A systematic review.

Aim: In-hospital blood glucose testing is commonplace, particularly in acute care. In-hospital screening for hyperglycaemia may present a valuable opportunity for early diabetes diagnosis by identifying at-risk individuals. This systematic review investigates the extent to which random blood glucose testing in acute and inpatient hospital settings predicts undiagnosed diabetes.
