About this study

Official title: Care Pathways of Acute Heart Failure Patients: Impact on In-hospital Mortality. A French National Prospective Survey

The investigators conducted a prospective observational study to describe the different pre-hospital and in-hospital pathways of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and their association with in-hospital mortality.

Read the detailed description

Prospective observational national multicentric study in 26 centres. Between june 2014 and october 2018 The investigators collected data about baseline characteristics, first recourse, in-hospital places of care and places of hospitalizations. Lengths of care and lengths of hospitalization.

Collected data of each patient were reported on a specific assessment tool. The investigators ran a univariate analysis and logistic regression between steps of the care pathway and in-hospital mortality. The main result was validated by an analysis with a propensity score: association between a hospitalization in cardiology and in-hospital mortality.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. In-hospital mortality

    Death of the patient during hospital stay reported by the physician in charge

    Measured: Between patient's inclusion in the study and it's hospital discharge, up to one year
