Design and rationale of a randomized trial: using short stay units instead of routine admission to improve patient centered health outcomes for acute heart failure patients (SSU-AHF).
The evidence for existing acute heart failure (AHF) therapies are poor; currently used AHF treatment do not reliably improve long-term outcomes and emergency department treatment has changed little in 40 years. The authors of this article propose a robust clinical effectiveness trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of short-stay units for the management of AHF for lower-risk patients.
