Using the model to develop a mHealth intervention
We conducted the mHealth intervention programmes under the guidance of the conceptual framework. Also, we adopted the same conceptual framework to design the intervention strategies which were similar in the constructs but different in detailed content of care needs for the two groups of patients. Use of the conceptual...

Follow-up assessment
Follow-up assessments were performed at baseline and 12 weeks after enrollment based on intention-to-treat principles for participants. Each assessment included BP measurement using the provided wearable BP monitor, measurement of waist and hip circumference, height and weight, and questionnaire survey.

Outcomes
The primary outcomes were change in SBP and DBP, and the co-primary outcomes were change in waist and hip circumference, height and weight. The second outcomes were change in self-reported CHPS, self-efficacy, and quality of life.

There were 678 subjects with cholesterol measured in SAILS and 509 subjects in HARP-2, of whom 384 had sepsis. Median cholesterol at enrollment was 97 mg/dL in both SAILS and HARP-2.

Conclusions
sepsis-related ARDS
Cholesterol levels are low in two cohorts with sepsis-related ARDS, and those in the lowest cholesterol quartile are sicker. Despite the very low levels of cholesterol, simvastatin therapy seems safe and may reduce mortality in this group, though rosuvastatin was associated with harm.
