Official title
Prospective Evaluation of Multicenter Implementation of Remote Monitoring of Liver Cirrhosis Patients
Overview
The goal of this longitudinal prospective study is to investigate disease course in patients with liver cirrhosis treated in hospitals that implemented a remote monitoring care pathway as part of their standard liver cirrhosis care pathway. Participants will be asked to share their medical data and remote monitoring data. Therefore, this study does not contain an intervention.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of liver related complications [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Number of liver related clinical admissions [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Number of liver related emergency consultations [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Liver transplantation [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Mortality [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years.]
- Number of outpatient department consultations [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Number of liver related laboratory tests [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Number of liver related radiographic images [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Number of liver related biopsies [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
- Percentage of completed modules in remote monitoring sessions [Time frame: From enrollment to the end of follow-up at 15 years, or untill death.]
