Prognosis Predictors for Heart Failure

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital792 enrolled

Overview

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.

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.

Time frame: May , 2014 ~ August 2020
