Objective To explore the influence of telephone follow-up after discharge on the re-admission rate of patients with chronic heart failure.Methods In total,161 patients were randomly divided into the observation(n=81)and control group (n=80).All participants received conventional guidance following discharge from our hospital.The patients in the observation group were subject to telephone follow-up for 6 months and individualized caring intervention.The re-admission rates after 6 months after discharge between two groups were statistically compared.Result The re-admission rate in the observation group was 30.9%, significantly lower compared with 42.5% in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The telephone follow-up combined with individualized caring intervention can reduce the re-admission rate among the patients with chronic heart failure.
