About this Content
Aims
To evaluate survival differences between deceased ventilator-assisted patients with and without HVRSS follow-up.
Background
HVRSS provides home care and support for chronic ventilatory failure patients, improving hospital-free survival days.
Methods
Timeline visualization was used to select controls and perform survival analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model.
Results
No significant mortality differences; HVRSS patients had more hospital-free survival days compared to controls.
Conclusion
HVRSS improves quality of life by increasing hospital-free survival for ventilator-assisted patients.
Lessons Learnt
Timeline visualization enhances understanding of patient histories and supports decision-making.
