ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the application of body mass monitoring APP in continuation care of discharged patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).Methods From June, 2016 to June, 2017, 84 patients with CHF were randomly divided into control group and research group with 42 cases in each group. After discharge, the control group received routine continuation nursing and the body mass monitor APP was used to monitor the body mass and continue nursing in the research group. Results After six months of discharge, the N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level, and the score of Minnesota Life Heart Failure Quality (MLHFQ) were significantly lower in the research group than in the control group (t>4.712, P<0.001). The number of repeat hospitalizations was lower in the research group than in the control group (χ2=7.714, P<0.01).Conclusion The body mass monitoring APP could improve the symptoms of heart failure and reduce the readmission rate of discharged patients with CHF in continuation care.
