CiRPM after hospitalization for acutely decompensated cirrhosis is linked to fewer 90-day liver-related readmissions versus C-control (39% vs 58%, HR 0.57, p=0.01).
- Why it matters: Decompensated cirrhosis leads to frequent post-discharge hospital use, but evidence for cirrhosis-specific remote management after acute decompensation is limited.
- What they did: In a three-cohort observational study of 430 adults (156 CiRPM, 152 H-control, 122 C-control), CiRPM provided vital-sign and symptom transmission with 24/7 virtual nursing support, with IPTW and Cox time-to-event analyses.
- The result: CiRPM showed a stronger association among patients with CLIF-C AD score ≥60 (HR 0.43 vs H-control, p=0.005; HR 0.51 vs C-control, p=0.02), with fewer fluid-related readmissions in ALD and lower hepatic encephalopathy readmissions in non-ALD; mortality did not differ.
