Comparison of participant compliance with daily weight monitoring between the innovative telemonitoring enhanced care program for chronic heart failure (ITEC-CHF) and the control groups. Under the conventional weight monitoring standard of at least 4 days per week, there was no significant difference between the ITEC-CHF and the control groups (P=.06). Under a stricter weight monitoring criterion of at least 6 days per week, more participants in the ITEC-CHF group were found to achieve this criterion than those in the control group (P=.005).

Compliancea	ITEC-CHFb, n (%)	Usual care, n (%)	P value
Participants who monitored body weight at least 6 days per week	41 (45)	23 (25)	.005
Participants who monitored body weight at least 4 days per week	67 (74)	56 (60)	.06
