Rheumatic Heart Disease III: Medical Management

490
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) management can be divided into two main strategies: prevention and long-term management.Primary PreventionPrimary prevention focuses on timely diagnosis and management of group A streptococcal pharyngitis to prevent acute rheumatic fever. The most widely used antibiotic for treating this condition is intramuscular benzathine penicillin G.Acute Rheumatic Fever TreatmentThe primary treatment goal for a patient diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever is to suppress the...

AssessmentA comprehensive assessment is essential in managing a patient with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Begin with obtaining a detailed medical history, including recent streptococcal infections, a history of rheumatic fever, or previously diagnosed rheumatic heart disease. Assess the patient for symptoms such as fever, chest pain, widespread joint pain (arthralgia), tachycardia, pericardial friction rub, muffled heart sounds, heart murmurs, peripheral edema, subcutaneous nodules, and...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Patient adherence to mobile health apps for rheumatoid arthritis symptom tracking is moderate. Older age and physician engagement improve app usage, with an 8-day interval being a realistic expectation for PRO completion.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Rheumatology
  • Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

  • Limited adoption of mobile health applications (apps) for collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in clinical practice.
  • Lack of studies investigating patient usage preferences for PRO apps in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
  • Need to characterize adherence to PRO apps for RA management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize patient adherence to a PRO app designed for individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
  • To identify predictors associated with adherence and sustained app usage.

Main Methods:

  • Post hoc analysis of a 12-month non-randomized trial involving 149 RA patients using a PRO app.
  • App collected one of four PROs every other day.
  • Adherence calculated by percent of PROs completed and time until app non-use, using various intervals and non-use definitions.
  • Multivariable regression models investigated predictors of adherence.

Main Results:

  • PRO completion rates varied: 43.5% (2-day interval), 68.0% (8-day interval), and 77.3% (32-day interval).
  • Mean time until app cessation was approximately 153 days, defined by 32 or 64 days of non-use.
  • Older patient age and increased physician engagement with PRO data correlated with higher adherence and longer app usage.

Conclusions:

  • Adherence to longitudinal PRO symptom reporting via app is moderate and measurement-dependent.
  • An 8-day interval (weekly) represents a realistic expectation for patient PRO completion.
  • Patient and physician factors significantly influence adherence to PRO apps in RA.
