Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The number of recurrent HF readmissions. [Monitoring period: 30 days]
Determine if HEMOTAG can reduce the relative number of HF readmissions or ER visits versus standard of care. \[Monitoring period: 30 days from time of participant's discharge from initial index hospitalization\]
Secondary outcomes
Time from discharge until the first event of HF readmissions [Monitoring period: Event time assessed up to 3 months and 6 months from discharge.
Time from discharge to the first event of HF readmissions or ER visits \[Monitoring period: Event time assessed up to 3 months and 6 months from time of participant's discharge from initial study hospitalization.\]
Number of total days lost to hospitalization due to HF events [Monitoring period: Expected average of 30 days, 3 months, 6 months]
Total number of total days lost to hospitalization or ER visit due to HF events \[Monitoring period: Expected average of 30 days, 3 months, 6 months from time of participant's discharge from index hospitalization.\]
Time from discharge to all-cause mortality [Monitoring period: 30 days, 3 months,6 months]
Time from discharge to all-cause mortality \[Monitoring period: 30 days, 3 months,6 months from time of participant's discharge from initial study hospitalization.\]
