Trial Outcomes & Findings for Care Coordination/Home Telehealth to Safeguard Care in CKD (NCT NCT03038126)

NCT ID: NCT03038126

Last Updated: 2020-03-18

Results Overview

number of safety events discovered in each study arm. In-center safety events include those detected during study visit vital signs and laboratory results (e.g. hypotension, hyperkalemia, etc.) Self-reported safety events include patient-identified incidents reported to staff at study visits (e.g. hypoglycemia, leg/ankle swelling, falls etc.)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months, 6 months

Population: number analyzed in each row differs due to various reasons including inability to complete specific measurements, missed visits, drop-out, ESRD, death, and loss to follow-up.
