Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) surgery for aortic valve disease continues to increase in numbers. With better surgical techniques and equipment, also older patients can be operated on, resulting in an growth of the older population. AVR is characterized by high rates of hospital readmissions, resulting in suboptimal care planning and higher health care costs. Hence, it is important to develop strategies to reduce hospital readmissions following AVR. The purpose if this study is to develop and test the efficacy of a 24/7-phone support in the reduction of readmissions after AVR treatment. Secondary outcomes are a reduced level of anxiety, less depressive symptoms and a better health related quality of life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Usual Care

Today, no post-discharge telephone support is offered as standard care from the hospital.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Intervention group

Experimental group is offered 24/7-telephone support during the first 1 month post-discharge, and patients are actively called at day 2 and day 9 day after discharge.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

24/7-telephone support

Intervention Type OTHER

ICU nurses answer the calls from treated AVR patients during the first month after discharge, and use an evidence-based information manual to answer questions from the patients.
