AbstractClinical trials investigating novel or high-risk interventions often use data monitoring committees (DMCs) to ensure that the participants' best interests are safeguarded. The typical DMC charter describes procedures by which the DMC operates, including important details concerning organizational structure, membership, meeting frequency, statistical monitoring guidelines, and contents of DMC reports for interim review. These charters, however, are not routinely publicly available; in some cases, their access could be important to the interpretation of trial results. We recommend including DMC charters for such trials in ClinicalTrials.gov at the time of trial completion; trial protocols, informed consent documents, and statistical analysis plans are already available in this repository.

Background: Every year in France, 40% of people aged ≥80 years are hospitalized, with an average length of hospital stay of 25 days and a readmission rate of 14% to 30% within the month following discharge. This situation is putting pressure on the health care system, encouraging the reinforcement of home care to reduce avoidable hospitalization. The EPOCA remote patient monitoring (RPM) system is a medical and social telehealth solution specialized in RPM, teleconsultation, tele-expertise, and care coordination in emergency medicine and geriatrics.
