Table 2.

SUTAQ results for clusters 2, 5, 7 at 3 and 12 months after the intervention and results for cluster 8 at 12 months. Two subscale, “Privacy and discomfort” and “Care personnel concerns”, have inverted scores thus a low value implies a positive view towards these aspects of telemonitoring.

CLUSTER 2 (DIABETES) N = 163 90.6% on target CLUSTER 5 (COPD) N = 180 85.3% on target CLUSTER 7 (CHF) N = 140 73.7% on target CLUSTER 8 (PM/ICD) N = 1635, 87,4% on target
