Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a planned single-centre pilot randomized controlled trial at a teaching hospital in Ghana, designed to evaluate whether intensive post-discharge counselling and phone-based follow-up reduce heart failure readmission at 30 and 90 days. No results are posted in this registry record; the study is currently recruiting.

Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07100561). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 220 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Heart Failure. Interventions: OTHER: Extensive post discharge counselling and phone-based follow up. Primary outcome measures: the occurrence of heart failure-related hospital readmission within 30 days and within 90 days after discharge from the index hospitalization , 90 days. Brief summary: In Ghana, about 88.3 per cent of cardiac admissions are due to Heart failure, making it the leading cause of admission due to heart conditions. Despite improved knowledge on heart failure and an increasing array of evidence-based guideline treatment options, there is still a significant readmission rate worldwide. This may be due to the underutilization of these evidence-based therapies or a lack of proper follow-up on these patients. Recurrent hospital admission is an independent predictor of death in heart failure. Strategies aimed at providing increased support at discharge and effective follow-up may be associated with lower readmission risk. This study aims to assess the effect of extensive post-discharge counselling and effective phone-based follow-up on the 30-day and 90-day heart failure readmission rate at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. This is a single-centre, pilot randomised controlled trial of heart failure patients admitted to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital
