S-ADHF：Sarcopenia in Patients With ADHF

Overview

This is a prospective, multi-center, investigator-initiated observational cohort study. Enrollment with a minimum of of 195 cases each for patients with and without sarcopenia. Each patient is followed up for 6 month, 1 year, 2 years or until the occurrence of death.This study will examine the correlation between sarcopenia and prognosis in different subgroups of patients, and explore the additive effect of different comorbidities and sarcopenia on prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital will be the lead center, with an additional 4 hospitals designated as satellite centers for the study. Enrollment of up to 500 participants adults aged over 18 years hospitalized for ADHF is planned, with a minimum of of 195 cases each for patients with and without sarcopenia The sympathetic nervous activity, psychosocial factors, quality of life, physical function and baseline physical activity will also be observed and recorded at baseline. Each patient is followed up for 6 month, 1 year, 2 years or until the occurrence of death. The primary clinical outcome is all-cause mortality at 6 months. Other clinical outcomes of interest include cardiovascular mortality, all-cause hospitalisation, HF hospitalisation, the frequency and length of hospitalization of patient readmitted and survival time from enrollment to death of deceased patients. This study will examine the correlation between sarcopenia and prognosis in different subgroups of patients, and explore the additive effect of different comorbidities and sarcopenia on prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure. S-ADHF will provide important information and evidence on the clinical aspects of sarcopenia in patients with ADHF, and will potentially and contribute to accurate risk stratification and optimal clinical management for patient with ADHF.
