  1. Outcomes were measured for 6 months following time of RPM eligibility. The primary outcomes are a composite of (1) hospital admission, (2) death, (3) ED visit not resulting in hospital admission, and time to composite outcome. Presence or absence of outcome specified as n, (%). All other data reported as median (IQR). Pearson’s Chi-squared test and Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test used for categorical and continuous data, respectively
