Multidisciplinaire interventie of overleg
Uitgangsvraag
Op welke wijze dient een multidisciplinaire interventie of overleg te worden ingezet bij oudere patiënten (met een kwetsbare gezondheid) met hartfalen om kwaliteit van leven te verbeteren en heropnames en sterfte te voorkomen?
Aanbeveling
Bespreek alle oudere patiënten opgenomen voor hartfalen in een multidisciplinair overleg.
Het multidisciplinair overleg vindt ten minste plaats met cardiologen, klinisch geriaters/internisten ouderengeneeskunde, verpleegkundigen, diëtisten en fysiotherapeuten. Voor de praktische uitvoering wordt verwezen naar het Zorgpad module Niet-medicamenteuze interventies.
Overwegingen
Balans tussen gewenste en ongewenste effecten
Voor deze uitgangsvraag is een literatuuranalyse verricht naar de effecten van een multidisciplinair team of multidisciplinaire interventie bij patiënten (70 jaar of ouder) met hartfalen opgenomen in het ziekenhuis. De meeste studies hebben gekeken naar een multidisciplinaire interventie.
Een multidisciplinaire interventie heeft mogelijk geen effect op het optreden van heropnames voor hartfalen. De resultaten zijn onzeker over het effect van een multidisciplinaire interventie op het samengesteld eindpunt van heropnames voor hartfalen en mortaliteit.
Deze resultaten zijn van toepassing op vitale ouderen met hartfalen. Patiënten met een kwetsbare gezondheid waren niet meegenomen in deze studies. Er kan daarom geen conclusie getrokken worden over het effect van een multidisciplinaire interventie bij ouderen met een kwetsbare gezondheid.
In lijn met (inter)nationale richtlijnen hebben we voor de overwegingen gefocust op een multidisciplinair overleg (MDO). In (inter)nationale richtlijnen wordt geadviseerd de patiënten te bespreken in een MDO. De exacte invulling van een dergelijk MDO is hierin echter niet duidelijk beschreven.
Kwaliteit van bewijs
De overall kwaliteit van bewijs is laag. Dit betekent dat we onzeker zijn over het gevonden geschatte effect van de cruciale uitkomstmaten. Er is afgewaardeerd vanwege ernstige imprecisie: onnauwkeurigheid, omdat het betrouwbaarheidsinterval beide grenzen van klinische relevantie overschrijdt en vanwege inconsistentie van de resultaten.
Waarden en voorkeuren van patiënten (en eventueel hun naasten/verzorgers)
De uitkomstmaten uitgewerkt onder samenvatting literatuur zijn ook voor patiënten de belangrijkste uitkomstmaten. Voor vitale ouderen zal het verminderen van heropnames en verlaging van mortaliteit het belangrijkste zijn. Voor ouderen met een kwetsbare gezondheid zal kwaliteit van level het belangrijkste gewaardeerd worden.
Helaas is er niets bekend over kwaliteit van leven bij multidisciplinaire interventies.
De resultaten van een MDO kan mogelijk leiden tot betere afstemming van zorg en duidelijkheid over de regiebehandelaar, dat door patiënten zeer gewaardeerd wordt.
Kostenaspecten
De interventie levert mogelijk minder kosten ten opzichte van de controle behandeling. Bij de trial van McDonald (2002) is ook naar de kosten gekeken. De resultaten laten zien dat de initiële kosten van een multidisciplinaire interventie wegvallen tegen de reductie in kosten door minder heropnames (Ledwidge, 2002). Uit deze studie bleek dat de kosten voor de multidisciplinaire interventie in 2002 586 euro bedroegen voor het voorkomen van een heropname over drie maanden. Als de kosten voor een multidisciplinaire interventie worden afgezet tegen de kosten van heropnames bespaart de interventie in 2002 37.216 euro over drie maanden voor 51 patiënten. De trial is in Ierland uitgevoerd dat een vergelijkbaar zorgsysteem heeft met huisartsen als in Nederland. Ook het risico op heropnames bij hartfalen is vergelijkbaar met Nederland.
Over de mogelijke kosten van een multidisciplinair overleg in Nederland is niets bekend. De mogelijke kosten en baten hangen ook af van de frequentie, duur, betrokken specialisten en het doel van het overleg. Een MDO wordt gezien als een investering die zich laat terugbetalen in betere afstemming van zorg, minder fouten en verbeterde resultaten voor de patiënt.
Gelijkheid ((health) equity/equitable)
De interventie leidt tot een toename van gezondheidsgelijkheid indien alle patiënten worden besproken in een MDO.
Aanvaardbaarheid
Ethische aanvaardbaarheid
De interventie lijkt aanvaardbaar voor de betrokkenen. Er zijn geen ethische bezwaren.
Duurzaamheid
Bij de interventie spelen de duurzaamheidsaspecten geen rol. Het gaat hier nadrukkelijk om een MDO.
Haalbaarheid
De interventie lijkt haalbaar. De interventie is over het algemeen al standaardzorg in de praktijk. Uit een peiling onder werkgroepleden werd variatie gezien in de wijze waarop een MDO wordt georganiseerd als ook de frequentie en de betrokken zorgverleners. Echter, het merendeel van de werkgroepleden participeert in een MDO voor deze groep patiënten en iedereen bleek voorstander van een dergelijk MDO.
Rationale van de aanbeveling: weging van argumenten voor en tegen de interventies
Ondanks dat er geen éénduidig bewijs uit de literatuuranalyse kwam, wordt in lijn met andere (inter)nationale richtlijnen, zoals de ESC-richtlijn Hartfalen (McDonagh, 2022), aanbevolen om alle patiënten opgenomen voor hartfalen te bespreken in een MDO. De belangrijkste argumenten hiervoor zijn afstemming van zorg en gunstige uitkomsten voor patiënten.
Eindoordeel: Sterke aanbeveling voor (Doen).
Onderbouwing
Many older patients with heart failure have multiple comorbidities and frailty is also important to consider. A multidisciplinary intervention or meeting creates a treatment plan best suited for the patient with all relevant health care providers involved. Yet, it is unclear how such an intervention or meeting would be organized. Therefore, for this clinical question, a literature analysis was undertaken to answer how a multidisciplinary intervention or meeting can best be organized.

a The level of evidence was downgraded by one level for inconsistency (one study showed a strong benefit) and one level for imprecision (confidence interval crosses boundaries of minimal important difference). The level was only downgraded by one level for imprecision as the inconsistency may have contributed to the broad confidence interval. Risk of bias most likely did not influence the pooled estimate as the two studies contributing the most to the pooled estimate were a RCT with some concerns (Herrero-Torrus, 2022) and a RCT with low risk of bias (Jepma, 2021) and both suggested similar effects.
b RCTs: The level of evidence was downgraded by one level for risk of bias (two studies with some concerns both showing a decreased risk and one study with low risk of bias indicating no difference) and two levels for imprecision (confidence interval crosses both boundaries of a minimal important difference). In this case the inconsistency was related to imprecision. Therefore, the level was not downgraded for inconsistency as well.
c Cohort studies: The level of evidence was downgraded by one level for imprecision (confidence interval crosses one boundary of a minimal important difference). As cohort studies start at low level of evidence, this resulted in the overall level of evidence being downgraded from low to very low.
Description of studies
A total of five studies (three RCTs and two cohort studies) were included in the analysis of the literature. Important study characteristics and results are summarized in table 2. The assessment of the risk of bias is summarized in the risk of bias tables (under the tab ‘Evidence tabellen’).
RCTs
- Herrero-Torrus (2022) randomized participants to follow-up by a cardiologist and geriatrician or to follow-up by a cardiologist only.
- Jepma (2021) researched a transitional care program compared with usual care.
- McDonald (2002) undertook a RCT into a multidisciplinary intervention compared with routine care.
Cohort studies
- Katano (2023) assessed the use of conference sheet during a meeting with the multidisciplinary team by using a historical control group in a cohort study.
- Kinugasa (2014) assessed a multidisciplinary intervention with previous routine care by using a historical control group in a cohort study.

Results
To facilitate pooling the data, reported hazard ratios were recalculated into risk ratios (VanderWeele, 2020).
1. Quality of life
None of the included studies reported the effect of multidisciplinary teams or meetings on quality of life.
2. HF admissions
All three included RCTs reported on the outcome hospital admissions for heart failure and none of the cohort studies. The result from the meta-analysis is shown in Figure 1. Overall, the risk for a hospital admission for heart failure was similar between both groups (RR 0.94 95%CI 0.39 to 2.27). The absolute risk difference based on the median event rate in the usual care group was -2.4% (95%CI -24% to 50%) in favor of the multidisciplinary intervention, although the confidence interval is very broad.
Although there was a difference in follow-up time between the trials (three months versus twelve months), the effect on the pooled estimate was small as the only trial with three months follow-up (McDonald, 2002) contributed the least to the pooled estimate, because of the lowest number of participants.
Figure 1. Pooled results for the outcome hospital admissions for heart failure from RCTs
3. Composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and HF readmission
All three RCTs and both cohort studies reported on the composite endpoint of HF readmissions and all-cause mortality. The results are separately reported by study type. Overall, the risk for the composite endpoint decreased by 23% (RR 0.77 95%CI 0.19 to 3.18) in RCTs. The absolute risk difference based on the median event rate in the usual care group was -13% (95%CI -47% to 25%) in favor of the multidisciplinary intervention, although the confidence interval was broad. Although there was a difference in follow-up time between the trials (three months versus twelve months), the effect on the pooled estimate was small as the only trial with three months follow-up (McDonald, 2002) contributed the least to the pooled estimate, because of the lowest number of participants.
A decrease in risk was seen in the results from cohort studies (RR 0.65 95%CI 0.44 to 0.96). Using the median event rate of the three usual care groups of the RCTs, the absolute risk difference in cohort studies was -20% (95%CI -32% to -2%), a difference in favor of the multidisciplinary intervention.

The number of events per group was not reported in the study from Katano (2023). In total, 115 (29%) participants experienced the composite endpoint
A systematic review of the literature was performed to answer the following question(s):
What are the benefits or harms of care provided by multidisciplinary team or meetings in elderly patients with heart failure admitted to the hospital comparing with routine care?
Table 1. PICO
| Patients | Patients (aged 70 or older) with heart failure admitted to the hospital |
| Intervention | Care provided by multidisciplinary team or multidisciplinary meeting |
| Control | Routine care |
| Outcomes | Quality of life; hospital readmission; all-cause mortality |
| Other selection citeria |
Study design: systematic reviews, RCT’s and observational studies In case of observational studies, only studies which adjusted for confounding, were included. |
Relevant outcome measures
The guideline panel considered quality of life and hospital readmission as a critical outcome measure for decision making; and a composite endpoint of hospital admission and all-cause mortality as an important outcome measure for decision making.
Search and select (Methods)
A systematic literature search was performed by a medical information specialist using the following bibliographic databases: Embase.com and Ovid/Medline. Both databases were searched from 2018 to June 24, 2025 for systematic reviews, RCTs and observational studies. Systematic searches were completed using a combination of controlled vocabulary and natural language keywords. The overall search strategy was derived from three primary search concepts: (1) aged; (2) heart failure; (3) multidisciplinary team. Duplicates were removed using EndNote software. After deduplication a total of 2245 records were imported for title/abstract screening.
Titles and abstracts were screened using the ASReview software. The articles were screened by the guideline methodologist, using the following stopping rule: stop after 200 subsequent exclusions (which was reached after screening 409 records). Based on title and abstract, 50 articles were initially selected. After screening the full-text articles, a total of three studies were included, and 47 studies were excluded (see the table with reasons for exclusion under the tab Methods). In addition, two studies from a separate systematic review were included. Chen (2024) performed a systematic literature search into the effects of collaborative health management of health failure. Potential published articles between 2002 and 2022 could be included. Most of the included articles by Chen (2024) included a population with a mean age below 70 years, except for two studies. Therefore, this review was not included, except for the two studies which met the selection criteria.
Three RCTs and two cohort studies were included in the literature analysis. Data from observational studies was only used when the results were congruent and the level of evidence from RCTs was moderate, low or very low (Cuello-Garcia, 2025).

Inbreng patiëntenperspectief
De werkgroep besteedde aandacht aan het patiëntenperspectief door afgevaardigde patiëntenorganisatie in de werkgroep, Harstichting. De conceptmodule is tevens voor commentaar voorgelegd aan Harstichting en de eventueel aangeleverde commentaren zijn bekeken en verwerkt.
Kwalitatieve raming van mogelijke financiële gevolgen in het kader van de Wkkgz
Bij de richtlijnmodule voerde de werkgroep conform de Wet kwaliteit, klachten en geschillen zorg (Wkkgz) een kwalitatieve raming uit om te beoordelen of de aanbevelingen mogelijk leiden tot substantiële financiële gevolgen. Bij het uitvoeren van deze beoordeling is de richtlijnmodule op verschillende domeinen getoetst (zie het stroomschema bij Werkwijze).

Geen financiële gevolgen |
Hoewel uit de toetsing volgt dat de aanbeveling(en) breed toepasbaar zijn (>40.000 patiënten), volgt ook uit de toetsing dat het geen nieuwe manier van zorgverlening of andere organisatie van zorgverlening betreft, het geen toename in het aantal in te zetten voltijdsequivalenten aan zorgverleners betreft en het geen wijziging in het opleidingsniveau van zorgpersoneel betreft. Er worden daarom geen substantiële financiële gevolgen verwacht. |
