Article Abstract
Effective telemonitoring is possible through repetitive collection of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in patients with chronic diseases. Low adherence to telemonitoring may have a negative impact on the effectiveness, but it is unknown which factors are associated with adherence to telemonitoring by ePROMs. The objective was to identify factors associated with adherence to telemonitoring by ePROMs in patients with chronic diseases. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library up to 8 June 2021. Eligibility criteria were: (1) interventional and cohort studies, (2) patients with a chronic disease, (3) repetitive ePROMs being used for telemonitoring, and (4) the study quantitatively investigating factors associated with adherence to telemonitoring by ePROMs. The Cochrane risk of bias tool and the risk of bias in nonrandomized studies of interventions were used to assess the risk of bias. An evidence synthesis was performed assigning to the results a strong, moderate, weak, inconclusive or an inconsistent level of evidence. Five studies were included, one randomized controlled trial, two prospective uncontrolled studies and two retrospective cohort studies. A total of 15 factors potentially associated with adherence to telemonitoring by ePROMs were identified in the predominate studies of low quality. We found moderate-level evidence that sex is not associated with adherence. Some studies showed associations of the remaining factors with adherence, but the overall results were inconsistent or inconclusive. None of the 15 studied factors had conclusive evidence to be associated with adherence. Sex was, with moderate strength, not associated with adherence. The results were conflicting or indecisive, mainly due to the low number and low quality of studies. To optimize adherence to telemonitoring with ePROMs, mixed-method studies are needed.

Perceptions of a comprehensive telehealth intervention in patients with persistently poor type 2 diabetes control.

Introduction: To understand participant perspectives on an effective, practical, comprehensive telehealth intervention for persistently poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and examine how its components contributed to improved outcomes, with the goal of informing broader telehealth-based diabetes management strategies.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews of a purposive sample of patients and staff in the comprehensive telehealth arm of the Practical Telehealth to Improve Control and Engagement for Patients with Clinic-Refractory Diabetes Mellitus study. Using the lens of patient engagement, we applied directed content analysis to categorize themes across the five components of the intervention.
Implementation of a Hybrid Cardiac Rehabilitation and Symptom Scoring System in Patients with Inappropriate or Postural Sinus Tachycardia Referred for Sinus Node Sparing Hybrid Ablation.

: Patients with inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) exhibit complex clinical profiles due to autonomic dysfunction. While sinus node sparing (SNS) hybrid ablation is emerging as a promising therapy, there are no established guidelines worldwide for post-procedure patient management and care is mainly based on telemonitoring. In contrast, our hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (HCR) program integrates inpatient care and home-based telerehabilitation.

Purpose: Understanding and categorizing fetal health is an influential field of research that profoundly impacts the well-being of both mother and child. The primary desire to precisely examine and cure fetal disorders during pregnancy to enhance fetal and maternal outcomes is the driving force behind the classification of fetal health. Fetal cardiac abnormalities (structural or functional) need immediate doctor attention, and their early identification and detection in all stages of pregnancy can help doctors with the timely treatment of the mother and the unborn child by enabling appropriate prenatal counseling and management.
