About this study

Official title: Looking for Prognostic Factors That Affect the Survival of Patients With Heart Failure

This study is looking for the predictors of the survival or rehospitalization of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Participants who are discharged from an acute heart failure hospitalization are enrolled.

Read the detailed description

This study is looking for the predictors of the survival or rehospitalization of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Participants who are discharged from an acute heart failure hospitalization are enrolled. The prognostic factors provide information about the treatment of this disease in the future. This study is a retrospective observational study. Investigators will collect data from May 2014 to July 2019 in the heart failure center of Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. A follow-up is conducted at the Kaohsiung HF center until August 2020. Investigators want to know whether the risk factors such as atrial fibrillation, diabetes, nephropathy, and some biochemical indexes can be an index that predicts future survival or rehospitalization of these patients. Besides, investigators will also explore the cardiac rehabilitation can also effectively improve the survival rate of such patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. all-cause mortality

    Number of participants that had occurrence of the mortality which is defined as all-cause mortality

    Measured: May, 2014 ~ August 2020

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. first heart failure rehospitalization

    Number of Participants That Had Occurrence of the Endpoint, Which is Defined as First Heart Failure (HF) Hospitalization

    Measured: May, 2014 ~ August 2020

  2. Change From Baseline to Month 6 and Month 12 for the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire 12 (KCCQ 12) Clinical Summary Score

    Change from baseline to Month 6 and month 12 for the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire short form (KCCQ12) clinical summary score. KCCQ12 is a 12-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. KCCQ12 clinical summary score is a composite assessment of physical limitations and total symptom scores.

    Scores are transformed to a range of 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status.

    Measured: May , 2014 ~ August 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Rehabilitation, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 3 inclusion and 7 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 9 Apr 2021. 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?

all-cause mortality (time frame: May, 2014 ~ August 2020). 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 9 Apr 2021.
