Nurse-led titration models of care for heart failure reduced ejection fraction: A systematic narrative review of characteristics, patient outcomes, and healthcare resource utilisation
Findings reinforce the published benefits of nurse-led titration. Additional studies examining adverse events and quality-of-life outcomes are needed to strengthen the evidence base. Several studies suggest a shift in resource use with NLT, highlighting the need for an economic evaluation to inform a cost-effective model of care.
