Frequent hemodialysis and conventional hemodialysis were compared for 12 months. Frequent hemodialysis was associated with improvement in primary outcomes (death or change in LV mass and death or change in physical health), but more interventions related to vascular access were required.

Studies suggest that telemonitoring for outpatients with heart failure may improve outcomes. However, this trial indicates that neither death nor hospital readmission was affected by telemonitoring. The findings do not support its use in outpatients with heart failure.

Patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention were assigned to receive sirolimus-eluting, everolimus-eluting, or bare-metal stents. At 2 years, there was no significant between-group difference in the rate of death from cardiac causes or nonfatal myocardial infarction.

In this trial comparing methadone with buprenorphine in opioid-dependent pregnant women, neonates exposed to buprenorphine required less morphine to treat neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) and had a significantly shorter duration of hospitalization and of treatment for NAS.
