Study Summary
The purpose of the FIT-O study was to estimate the prevalence of having a caregiver (paid and/or informal) among hospitalized cardiac patients by demographic factors such as patient age and race/ethnicity, and to link caregiver status to clinical outcomes following hospitalization. A secondary aim was to collect anonymous family tree data to provide an estimate of the number of first degree family members, their basic demographics, and the distance at which they live from the medical center.
Primary Outcome
Cardiac caregivers were classified as either an unpaid family member or friend who assist the patient in complying with medical and lifestyle therapies post-discharge or as a paid professional caregiver. Standardized data were collected on the nature of the tasks the caregiver performs and the caregiver's relationship to the hospitalized patient.
