Randomized Controlled TrialA cost-effectiveness study of person-centered integrated heart failure and palliative home care: Based on a randomized controlled trial.
Previous economic studies of person-centered palliative home care have been conducted mainly among patients with cancer. Studies on cost-effectiveness of advanced home care for patients with severe heart failure are lacking when a diagnosis of heart failure is the only main disease as the inclusion criterion. ⋯ The Palliative Advanced Home Care and Heart Failure Care working mode saves financial resources and should be regarded as very cost-effective.
