About this study

Official title: Comparison of Treatment and Doses of Drugs in Patient With Heart Failure Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFREF) Between Asyut University Hospital and Guidelines of European Society 0f Cardiology (ESC)

Analyze the epidemiology and outcome of all patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) presented to Asyut university hospital (AUH) and to identify factors associated with mortality and all-cause hospitalization at a duration of 6 months follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Heart failure (HF) is nowadays an important health problem and associated with high use of resources and healthcare cost, but the prevalence of heart failure is increasing due to better care and treatment of HF and to the aging of the population. Epidemiology of HF is changing and shifting towards a higher prevalence of patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction. Moreover, the outcome of HF is grim. The mortality rate is high and hospitalizations are frequent and associated with worse outcomes. The majority of studies that analyzed HF outcomes have focused on HF hospitalizations. However, in patients with HF, all-cause hospitalizations can affect up to 23-58% of the patients at 1-year follow-up and non-cardiovascular hospitalizations are associated with risk of subsequent mortality similar to cardiovascular hospitalizations. Despite the evidence that all-cause hospitalizations are detrimental in HF patients, few studies have analyzed whether the factors associated with all-cause and HF-hospitalizations are different in HF patients.

However, the characteristics and outcome of HF patients are not well described in developing countries like Egypt. Documenting patients' characteristics and the outcome might improve management of comorbidities associated with heart failure patients in Egypt as well as the disease outcome, However, characteristics and outcome of HF patients are not well described in developing countries like Egypt.

What is being measured

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

  1. To find the percentage of patients treated at guidelines recommended doses

    All patients presented to Assiut university hospital outpatient clinic, inpatient ward and CCU admission with heart failure reduced ejection fraction will be grouped according to Age ( Etiology,risk factors,severity of symptoms (according to NYHA score),hospitalizations , co-morbidity and treatment and doses they received and compare it to guidelines and follow for re-hospitalization and mortality.

    Measured: six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction, run by Assiut University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact abanoub shnouda (201270024800, abanoubshnouda92@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To find the percentage of patients treated at guidelines recommended doses (time frame: six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03877887, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Mar 2019.
