Advance care planning vs usual care

Concordance between participants' preferences and end‐of‐life care (yes/no) Post‐death data: mean days to death, ACP group (388.8 ± 255.7); usual care group (362.2 ± 288.4) · people with heart failure with or without their surrogate decision‐makers/carers

It is very uncertain whether advance care planning changes concordance between participants' preferences and end‐of‐life care… compared with usual care (very low certainty).

Usual care with ivabradine vs Placebo, no intervention or usual care (with or without placebo)

Cardiovascular mortality · adults (≥ 18 years of age) with a diagnosis of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)

Usual care with ivabradine showed no clear difference in mortality from cardiovascular causes ( compared with placebo, usual care, or no treatment (moderate certainty).

Summary of findings ‐ structured telephone support or telemonitoring vs usual care

All‐cause mortality: Structured telephone support versus usual care · patients with heart failure

Summary of findings ‐ structured telephone support or telemonitoring probably leads to lower all‐cause mortality: Structured telephone support versus usual care compared with usual care ‐ all‐cause mortality (moderate certainty).
