Secondary Outcomes
Outcomes did not differ significantly by group over the additional 8 months of follow-up (i.e., the course
of the 1-year follow-up period from program enrollment). Of the 174 CCCP patients, 47% had at least
one all-cause hospitalization over the 1-year follow-up period compared with 46% in controls (relative
risk [RR]=1.03, P=.83) (Table 3). The risk for more multiple hospitalizations was higher in the CCCP
group (25%) in comparison with controls (20%) but was not statistically significant (RR=1.29, P=.20).
Additionally, the mean length of hospital stay was similar in both groups (Table 3).
Following up patients for an additional 8 months after program completion showed that the differential
effect in hospitalization events observed at the end of the program did not persist. The rates increased
among the CCCP patients but were not significantly different compared to controls (HR=1.12, 95% CI
0.90-1.41, P=.31). Compared with controls, mortality rates over 1-year follow-up were lower in the
CCCP group, but this was also not statistically significant (HR=0.64, 95% CI 0.34-1.21, P=.17) (Figure
3).
