Telemonitoring Adherence and Nurse Workload in Kidney Transplant Patients

A single-center study analyzes patient adherence to a telemonitoring program after renal transplantation from April 2020 to April 2022. It includes survey data from 110 respondents among 207 eligible patients, categorizing them as active, discontinued, or never users. The dataset was authored by Delphine Bailly and examines platform activity, patient satisfaction, and advanced practice nurse workload.

Use Cases

• Classify patient adherence groups (TOUCO, STOPCO, JAMCO) based on survey responses and platform usage data.
• Analyze determinants of continued use, referencing specific survey metrics like ease of use (86%) and adequate information at enrollment.
• Model advanced practice nurse daily workload (mean 3 hours) against recorded platform events (5,214) and secure messages (>4,000).
• Identify major barriers to telemonitoring adherence using reported data on technical difficulties (~80%) and loss of login credentials (>50%).
• Correlate patient satisfaction metrics, such as response time (89%) and improved access to care (81%), with user adherence category.

Strengths

• Survey includes 110 respondents from 207 eligible patients, providing a 53% response rate.
• Captures over 5,214 platform events and more than 4,000 secure messages, indicating detailed activity tracking.
• Reports specific, quantified satisfaction metrics (e.g., 89% satisfied with response time) and barrier prevalence.

Limitations

• Small sample size from a single center (207 eligible patients), limiting generalizability.
• Dataset is 22.2 KB, indicating limited scope and likely summary-level data rather than raw patient records.
• Lacks measured clinical outcome data, focusing on experience and adherence metrics.
