Participant Flow

This was an observational study with two study arms, an immediate monitoring group and a delayed monitoring group. This was not a cross-over design study. The control group for this study consisted of participants that were not given the Zio patch. This group was used to compare who got routine care compared to the other arms that received the Zio patches.

Immediate Monitoring
Individuals randomized to immediate monitoring will receive the ZIO XT patch sensor and wear it for the first and last 2 week period of the 4 month monitoring period of time 0 to 4 months. Note: Approximately 250 consenting participants will also be invited to participate in a sub-study to wear an additional monitoring device (Amiigo wristband) continuously over the 4 month monitoring period. iRhythm ZIO XT Patch: Single-lead ECG monitoring via a wearable patch Wristband by Amiigo: Determines pulse rate using photoplethysmography.
Delayed Monitoring
Individuals randomized to delayed monitoring will receive usual care for 4 months after which they will receive the ZIO XT patch sensor and wear it for the first and last 2 week period of study months 4 through 8. Note: Approximately 250 consenting participants will also be invited to participate in a sub-study to wear an additional monitoring device (Amiigo wristband) daily for months 4 through 8. iRhythm ZIO XT Patch: Single-lead ECG monitoring via a wearable patch Wristband by Amiigo: Determines pulse rate using photoplethysmography.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: End of 4 month monitoring period

Population: In the intention-to-treat analysis of the randomized clinical trial, we analyzed the incidence of new AF cases in the immediate monitoring group vs the delayed monitoring groups.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: 906 participants that were in the immediate monitoring group had 12 months of follow-up data, 832 participants in the delayed monitoring group had 12 months of follow-up data

In the observational study, over 12 months of follow-up, we looked at the prevalence of AF in the actively monitored and delayed monitored cohorts.

20/908 • Number of events 20 • 1 year
The only adverse events reported in this study were in relation to skin irritations developed from wearing the Zio patch. There was no risk of all-cause mortality or serious adverse events connected to wearing the patch so all-cause mortality and serious adverse events were not monitored/assessed The observational controls did not receive a patch and thus were not actively monitored for adverse events.
