Does home pulse oximetry monitoring improve outcomes with Covid?
A randomized trial says no
@NEJM https://t.co/NNi0hWAjjc

[Penn Med Transformation & Innovation @PM_Innovation]

Supplementing #covid19 monitoring with pulse oximetry did not improve outcomes, an RCT shows. @kit_delgadoMD breaks it down in this excellent thread.

[Christopher A. Longhurst, MD @CALonghurst]

Important new trial shows that "Among patients with Covid-19, the addition of home pulse oximetry to remote monitoring did not result in a greater number of days alive and out of the hospital than subjective assessments of dyspnea alone." #MedTwitter

[M. Kit Delgado, MD, MS @kit_delgadoMD]

Pulse oximeters are widely used to monitor for low oxygen levels among #Covid19 patients at home.

But does pulse oximetry improve outcomes over monitoring for symptoms of shortness of breath?

Our team provides some answers today in @NEJM 🧵👇
