Trial summary

To better understand the public health prognostic impact of noncardiac chronic illnesses, we explored the attributable risk of noncardiac comorbidities on outcomes between heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) and heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in a large… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Noncardiac Comorbidities in Heart Failure Outpatients With Preserved and Reduced Ejection Fraction: A Community-Based Study

To better understand the public health prognostic impact of noncardiac chronic illnesses, we explored the attributable risk of noncardiac comorbidities on outcomes between heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) and heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in a large contemporary heart failure (HF) population The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and the population attributable risk were used to compare the contributions of 15 noncardiac comorbidities to adverse outcome. The comorbidities that contributed to high attributable risk were: anemia, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and peripheral artery disease. These findings were similar for HFrEF and HFpEF groups. Interaction analysis confirmed similar results.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, Diastolic and Heart Failure, Systolic, run by Ospedale Maggiore Di Trieste.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall mortality (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Oct 2016.
