Abstract

Background

Utilization of ventricular assist device (VAD) support in patients with end-stage heart failure is well advanced. Recent studies emphasize the need to develop and evaluate evidence-based psychosocial support interventions for patients following VAD implantation.

Methods

A national, multi-center study in four established German heart centers was initiated. An evidence-based VAD curriculum was developed; a randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of the interprofessional intervention over time. Primary combined endpoint was the occurrence of adverse events (thromboembolic events, driveline infections, bleeding, rehospitalization, and death); secondary endpoints were psychosocial outcomes (anxiety, depression [HADS], quality of life [QoLVAD], social support [FSoZu], and self-management [SELMA]). A total of 140 patients were randomized block-wise to intervention (IG n = 70) or control (CG n = 70). Center-effects were considered. Instruments were completed at four time points (T0-T3).

Results

At baseline, intervention group (IG) patients were 19% female (control group [CG] 19%; p = 0.982); 58 ± 11 years. (CG 58 ± 11 years.; p = 0.966); 80% were implanted electively (CG 79%; p = 0.968). No significant difference in primary endpoint was found between IG versus CG (p > 0.05). For secondary endpoints, mixed linear regression revealed a significant reduction in depression scores in IG compared to CG (est. 1.18; 95% CI −2.17 to −0.18; p = 0.021). Clinically significant reductions in anxiety were greater in IG patients between T0 and T3 (IG 51.9%; CG 40.7%); increased anxiety was reported in 3.7% IG (11.1% CG). Mixed linear regression analyses favored IG (all >0.05) for QoL, social support, and self-management.

Conclusion

A comprehensive curricular VAD intervention has potential to decrease depression levels and improve psychosocial outcomes of patients on VAD support.

在心室辅助装置支持下患者的自我管理减少抑郁：一项多中心随机对照试验。

背景：在终末期心力衰竭患者中使用心室辅助装置（VAD）支持是很先进的。最近的研究强调有必要开发和评估VAD植入后患者的循证心理社会支持干预措施。方法：在德国四个已建立的心脏中心开展了一项全国性的多中心研究。制定了以证据为基础的VAD课程；一项随机对照试验评估了跨专业干预随时间的影响。主要联合终点是不良事件的发生（血栓栓塞事件、传动系统感染、出血、再住院和死亡）；次要终点是社会心理结局（焦虑、抑郁[HADS]、生活质量[QoLVAD]、社会支持[FSoZu]和自我管理[SELMA]）。共有140例患者被随机分组分为干预组（IG n = 70）和对照组（CG n = 70）。考虑了中心效应。在4个时间点（T0-T3）完成仪器检查。结果：基线时，干预组（IG）患者中女性占19%(对照组[CG] 19%；p = 0.982)；58±11年。(CG 58±11岁；p = 0.966)；80%选择性植入(CG 79%；p = 0.968)。IG组与CG组的主要终点无显著差异（p < 0.05）。对于次要终点，混合线性回归显示IG组抑郁评分显著低于CG组(test . 1.18；95% CI -2.17 ~ -0.18；p = 0.021)。在T0和T3期间，IG患者焦虑的临床显著降低更大(IG 51.9%；CG 40.7%);3.7% IG组（11.1% CG组）焦虑增加。混合线性回归分析在生活质量、社会支持和自我管理方面支持IG（均为>0.05）。结论：全面的VAD课程干预有可能降低VAD支持患者的抑郁水平并改善心理社会结局。
