A Randomized Trial of Video-based Education in Patients With Heart Failure: The Congestive Heart Failure Outreach Program of Education (COPE)

Background: Heart failure (HF) exacerbations often relate to poor self-care. Education programs improve outcomes, but are resource-intensive.

description Background: Heart failure (HF) exacerbations often relate to poor self-care. Education programs improve outcomes, but are resource-intensive. We developed a video-based educational intervention and evaluated it in patients with HF. Methods: Congestive Heart Failure Outreach Program of Education was a pragmatic multicenter randomized trial. We included subjects with HF if they were hospitalized, seen in the emergency department (ED), or high-risk outpatients, and randomized them to intervention or control. Intervention included a 20-minute video, supplementary booklet, and 3 bimonthly newsletters focusing on salt and fluid restriction, daily weights, and medications. Subjects watched the video and were encouraged to review it at home, along with the booklet/newsletters. Control subjects received the booklet only. The primary outcome was the difference in cardiovascular hospitalizations or ED visits between groups at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included clinical events and in-hospital days. Results: We recruited 539 subjects from 22 centers in Canada and the United States. Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups: 64% were male and had a mean age of 66 (± 13) years, mean ejection fraction 31% (± 13.5), and 65% New York Heart Association Functional Classification III/IV. The primary outcome occurred in 57 subjects (21%) in the intervention group compared with 61 subjects (23%) in the control group (P = 0.66). There were no significant differences in prespecified secondary outcomes; however, death occurred in 18 subjects (7%) in the intervention group and 33 subjects (12%) in the control group (P = 0.03). Conclusion: Video education on self-care did not reduce hospitalizations or ED visits in patients with HF. Of note, mortality was lower in the intervention group. Résumé: Introduction: L’exacerbation de l’insuffisance cardiaque (IC) est souvent liée à une mauvaise prise en charge autonome des soins. Les programmes d’enseignement améliorent les résultats cliniques, mais exigent beaucoup de ressources. Nous avons conçu une intervention éducative par vidéo et l’avons évaluée auprès de patients atteints d’IC. Méthodes: Le Congestive Heart Failure Outreach Program of Education était une étude pragmatique multicentrique à répartition aléatoire. Nous avons sélectionné les sujets atteints d’IC s’ils étaient hospitalisés, vus au service des urgences (SU) ou patients en consultation externe exposés à un risque élevé, et les avons répartis de manière aléatoire au groupe d’intervention ou au groupe témoin. L’intervention a consisté en une vidéo de 20 minutes, un livret supplémentaire et 3 bulletins bimensuels portant sur la restriction du sel et des liquides, les mesures quotidiennes du poids et les médicaments. Après que les sujets eurent regardé la vidéo, nous les avons encouragés à la revoir à la maison, en plus de lire le livret et les bulletins. Les sujets témoins ont reçu seulement le livret. Le critère de jugement principal était la différence dans les hospitalisations en raison d’une maladie cardiovasculaire ou les visites au SU entre les groupes après 6 mois. Les critères de jugement secondaires étaient les événements cliniques et les jours d’hospitalisation. Résultats: Nous avons recruté 539 sujets de 22 centres au Canada et aux États-Unis. Les caractéristiques initiales étaient similaires dans les 2 groupes : 64 % étaient des hommes et avaient un âge moyen de 66 ans (± 13), une fraction d’éjection moyenne de 31 % (± 13,5), et 65 % avaient une classification fonctionnelle III/IV de la New York Heart Association. Le critère de jugement principal est survenu chez 57 sujets (21 %) dans le groupe d’intervention et chez 61 sujets (23 %) dans le groupe témoin (P = 0,66). Il n’y a eu aucune différence significative dans les critères secondaires prédéfinis. Toutefois, 18 sujets (7 %) du groupe d’intervention et 33 sujets (12 %) du groupe témoin sont morts (P = 0,03). Conclusion: L’enseignement sur les autosoins par vidéo n’a pas réduit les hospitalisations ou les visites au SU des patients atteints d’IC. Notamment, la mortalité a été plus faible dans le groupe d’intervention.
