This is an interventional treatment trial for Heart Failure focused on measuring Acute Heart Failure, Chronic Heart Failure, Home care services, Cost-Benefit Analysis, Quality of life

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Acute heart failure (with history of Chronic Heart Failure)
  • Identified in the first 48 hours
  • Eligible for home-care with "Hospitalisation à Domicile" within 4 days after hospitalization.
  • Patient affiliated to social security and to complementary health insurance

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Under 18 years old

Arm 2

Arm Type

No Intervention

Experimental

Arm Label

Control

Home care treatment

Arm Description

Patients will be randomly assigned to conventional hospital care

Patients will be randomly assigned to the HOME-based hospitalization and treated with intravenous diuretics. Following discharge within 48 hours from the hospital, patients in the HC group will be treated at home.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Time to rehospitalization
Time to rehospitalization for a new episode of acute heart failure within the first 3 months after the randomization.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Occurrence of adverse events
Occurrence of adverse events evaluated at the end of the IV treatment which will be different for each patient.
Quality of life (scales)
Quality of life (scales) at the end of the treatment and 3 months
Nutritional status
Evaluation of the nutritional status based on MNA score at the beginning of the IV treatment and 3 months and dietary survey at the beginning and the end of the IV treatment.
Mortality at the end of the treatment, 3 months and 1 year
Mortality at the end of the treatment, 3 months and 1 year
Cost-effectiveness
Cost-effectiveness at the end of the treatment, 3 months and 1 year
Time to first rehospitalization
Time to first rehospitalization for a new episode of acute heart failure within the first year after the randomization.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Evaluation of the efficacy, safety and and cost of home care versus conventional hospitalization care at 3-months in patients with worsening chronic heart failure.
Detailed Description
Chronic heart failure (CHF) has an important socio-economic impact due to frequent hospital readmissions. Hypothesis: Home care treatment (HC) will improve quality of live and decrease cost. Methodology: Pilot, prospective, open, randomized controlled trial with 1-year follow-up for CHF patients admitted to 10 French hospital from March 2017 through February 2018, for acute decompensation of CHF. Patients will be randomly assigned to conventional hospital care or to the HC and treated with intravenous diuretics. Following discharge within 48 hours from the hospital, patients in the HC group will be treated at home. Follow-up will be conducted for both groups at discharge, 3 and 12 months after inclusion in the study.
