Time Point

Aims The TElemonitoring in the MAnagement of Heart Failure (TEMA-HF) 1 long-term follow-up study assessed whether an initial six-month telemonitoring (TM) programme compared with usual care (UC) would result in reduced all-cause mortality, heart failure admissions and healthcare costs in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients at long-term follow-up. Methods Of the 160 patients included in the multi-centre, randomised controlled telemonitoring trial (TEMA-HF 1, time point t0); 142 CHF patients (65% male; age: 76 ± 10 years; EF: 36 ± 15%) were alive and entered the follow-up study (time point: t1) with a final evaluation at 79 months (time point: t2). Both TM and UC group patients received standard heart failure care during the follow-up study (time points: t1 – t2). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included days lost due to heart failure readmissions and readmission/patient follow-up related healthcare costs. Results Compared with usual care, the initial six-month TM programme had no significant effect on all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.57 to 1.20; p = 0.32). The number of days lost due to heart failure readmissions was significantly lower in the TM group ( p = 0.04). Healthcare costs did not differ significantly between the TM (€ 9140 ± 10580) and UC group (€ 12495 ± 22433) ( p = 0.87). Discussion An initial six-month telemonitoring programme was not associated with reduced all-cause mortality in CHF patients at long-term follow-up but resulted in a reduction in the number of days lost due to heart failure readmissions. This study is registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov registry (NCT03171038) (URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03171038 ).

Abstract Background The strong relation between chronic heart failure (CHF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well known as cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). The current study focused on the impact of novel markers of kidney injury next to the established cardiac marker NT-proBNP as predictors for mortality in patients with CHF in a long term follow up. Methods We conducted a prospective longitudinal study. The novel renal biomarkers kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), N-acteyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) were assessed from urine samples. Additionally, blood levels of NT-proBNP were determined. The primary endpoint all-cause mortality was evaluated after a median follow-up of 104 months (interquartile range 42–117 months). Results 149 adolescents (mean age 62±12 years) with CHF (mean ejection fraction 32±9%) were enrolled. 79 (53%) patients died. The secondary endpoint was reached by 104 patients (70%). The renal marker NAG (HR 1.02, p=0.002) was a significant and independent predictor for all-cause mortality next to the established cardiac biomarker NTproBNP (HR 1.0, p<0,001) using Cox regression analysis, opposite to KIM-1 as well as NGAL (each p=n.s.). Similar results were obtained for the combined endpoint of all-cause mortality and hospitalization for heart failure. In a multivariate analysis model with biomarkers and clinical parameters NAG (HR 1.02, p=0.036) remained a significant predictor for all-cause mortality next to NT-proBNP (HR 1.0, p=0.027, older age (HR 1.04, p=0.004), the lack of diabetes mellitus (HR 0.39, p<0.001), reduced EF (HR 0.97, p=0.034) and creatinine (HR 1.45, p=0.026). Again similar results were obtained for the secondary endpoint. Patients were stratified into groups with markers above and below Youden Index to calculate Kaplan-Meier analysis. A combined analysis of NT-proBNP (< and ≥1906 pg/mL) and NAG (< and ≥10 U/gUCr) revealed an increase of the predictive value of each marker: patients with all three markers above Youden index had the highest mortality rate (79%) compared to patients with one (43%) or none (26%) marker above Youden Index. All-cause Mortality Conclusion The current 10-years long-term follow-up suggests that the tubular biomarker NAG as cardiorenal biomarker in combination with NT-proBNP may allow to discriminate a high-risk collective of chronic heart failure patients. These findings emphasize the close relationship of kidney injury and renal function in patients with CHF.
