Telemonitoring Adherence and Nurse Workload in Kidney Transplant Patients

A two-year study from April 2020 to April 2022 evaluated a telemonitoring program for kidney transplant recipients at a single center. The dataset includes survey responses from 110 patients and analysis of over 5,200 platform events and 4,000 messages. Delphine Bailly authored this retrospective observational study.

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 and information_at_enrollment.
• Estimate advanced practice nurse workload using the reported mean of 3 hours per day for managing active users.
• Identify major barriers to telemonitoring adherence, such as technical_difficulties and loss_of_login_credentials rates.

Strengths

• Survey data from 110 patients provides a response rate of 53% from the eligible cohort.
• Captures detailed platform activity metrics, including 5,214 events and over 4,000 secure messages.

Limitations

• Small sample size from a single center (207 eligible, 110 respondents) limits generalizability.
• No measured clinical outcome data is included, focusing only on patient experience and adherence.
• Data is contained in a DOCX report, requiring extraction for quantitative analysis.
