Use of novel non invasive techniques and biomarkers to guide outpatient management of fluid overload and reduce hospital readmission: systematic review and meta analysis
Fluid congestion is a leading cause of hospital admission, readmission, and mortality in heart failure (HF) We performed a systematic review and meta analysis to determine the effectiveness of an advanced fluid management programme (AFMP) The AFMP was defined as an intervention providing tailored diuretic therapy guided by intravascular volume assessment, in hospitalized patients or after discharge. The AFMP group was compared with patients who received standard care treatment. The aim of this systematic review and meta analysis was to determine the effectiveness of an AFMP in improving patient outcomes.
