Self-management Adherence in Heart Failure Patients
NCT01964053 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Non-adherence to self-management behaviors is prevalent and accounts for hospital readmissions in heart failure (HF) patients 65 years of age and older. The mechanism to activate and engage HF patients in managing their own care is uncertain. Yet post-acute care service that is vital to improve HF patients' self-management adherence and HF outcomes is suboptimal in rural hospitals (primarily critical access hospitals). The investigators central hypothesis is that patients with higher activation level will have significantly better self-management adherence. This study will test whether Patient AcTivated Care at Home (PATCH) will improve self-management adherence and health outcome (reduced hospital readmissions), as well as the feasibility to translate the research findings to a home based post-acute care service in rural communities.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01964053
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01964053 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 105 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Nebraska, which has 272 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Heart Failure appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Usual care is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01964053 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Nebraska. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
