Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population consists of all consecutive adults patients seen in the Emergency department of an acute care hospital and treated actively for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) where the condition is defined clinically as new onset of Heart Failure with decompensation or chronic heart failure with decompensation. Patient eligibility is based upon the presence of a hospital discharge and/or Emergency department diagnosis of ADHF and is not tied to the use of any specific therapeutic agent or regimen.

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years at the time of ED treatment
  • Received or is eligible to receive a principal ED and/or hospital discharge diagnosis of ADHF
  • ADHF is present as determined clinically by the patient care team and as documented in the DRG (Diagnosis-related Group) or APC (Ambulatory Payment Classifications) codes, and ADHF is the focus of treatment
  • If required by site IRB/IEC patient (or legally acceptable representative) must be able to give informed consent for participation

Who cannot join

  • ADHF is present as a co-morbid condition, but is not a principal focus of diagnosis or treatment during this ED or hospital episode
  • Patient was not treated in ED during this episode of care
  • Participation in any clinical trial that precludes use of a Disease Management Program (specific component of the disease are managed in an integrated manner by a team of physicians, pharmacists, nurses and communication experts)

About this study

Official title: Acute Decompensate Heart Failure National Registry ( ADHERE) Emergency Module (EM)

The purpose of this study is to collect data on the medical management of patients presenting to the Emergency Department who are treated for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) in a hospital setting that has incorporated a disease management program for heart failure.

Read the detailed description

This is an Observational (individuals are observed or certain outcomes are measured. no attempt is made to affect the outcome), multi-center registry study of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) for treatment of known or suspected Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF). Data will be collected on the medical management of patients presenting to the ED who are treated for ADHF in a hospital setting incorporating a disease management program for heart failure. The study will evaluate change in clinical management and outcomes of ADHF patients treated in the ED after ED implementation of three or more components of a disease management program for heart failure. The results are intended to assist hospitals in evaluating and improving quality of care for patients with ADHF by tracking quality indicators and providing site-specific benchmark reports and national benchmark reports. This registry considers patients treated with any therapy for ADHF

What is being measured

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

  1. The registry will capture information about the medical care that the patient has received including hospital/ emergency department course, major procedures, medication received, emergency room disposition and in hospital death

    Measured: Data will be collected, beginning with care in the Emergency Department and ending with the patient's Discharge from the Emergency Department or hospital discharge, transfer to another hospital, or in-hospital death.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Baseline demographic information (age,sex, gender,race), initial evaluation, laboratory results and medical history.

    Measured: From admission to the emergency depatment until discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure, Congestive and Heart Decompensation, run by Scios, Inc..

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 28 Apr 2010. 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?

The registry will capture information about the medical care that the patient has received including hospital/ emergency department course, major procedures, medication received, emergency room disposition and in hospital death (time frame: Data will be collected, beginning with care in the Emergency Department and ending with the patient's Discharge from the Emergency Department or hospital discharge, transfer to another hospital, or in-hospital death.). 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 28 Apr 2010.
