Background: This research analyzed the demographics, management, and outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF) in Thailand.
Methods: The Thai Heart Failure Registry prospectively enrolled patients diagnosed with HF from 36 hospitals in Thailand. Follow-up data were recorded at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.
Introduction: There are limited data on the burden of newly diagnosed patients with heart failure (HF) in Thailand. Thus, this study aimed to fully understand the hospitalization, rehospitalization, mortality rates, demographics and characteristics, and quality of care in these patients.
Method: A retrospective review of all eligible adult patients' medical records from 2018 and 2019 was conducted at five hospitals.
Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a significant health issue in Thailand, with the study analyzing medical records from five hospitals in 2018 and 2019 to assess its prevalence and outcomes.
- The research found that the prevalence of HF was low (0.1% in 2018 and 0.2% in 2019), with HF with preserved ejection fraction being the most common type among 7384 patients analyzed.
- A notable 22.7% of patients were rehospitalized within a year, and the overall mortality rate within 30 days post-hospitalization was concerning, indicating a heavy burden on the healthcare system.
Background: The primary objective was to determine the influence of obesity and associated metabolic status on clinical outcomes of Asian patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Methods: This study was based on a prospective multicenter of patients with nonvalvular AF. Patients were classified as obese and nonobese and being metabolic unhealthy was defined as having at least one of the three cardiovascular risk factors including dyslipidemia, hypertension, or diabetes mellitus.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the causes of death among Asian non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who were registered in a nationwide AF registry, and to investigate the differences in the causes of death in AF patients compared between those who were taking and not taking oral anticoagulant (OAC).
Methods: The COhort of antithrombotic use and Optimal INR Level in patients with non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Thailand (COOL-AF) study enrolled non-valvular AF patients from 27 centers in Thailand during 2014-2017 to create the COOL-AF Thailand registry. Cause of death was classified as cardiovascular (CV) death, non-CV death, or undetermined cause of death.
Purpose: We aimed to compare the rate of clinical outcomes among three age groups (<65, 65-74, and ≥75 years) of adult patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
Patients And Methods: We prospectively enrolled NVAF patients from 27 Thailand medical centers. The following were collected at baseline: demographic data, risk factors, comorbid conditions, laboratory data, and medications.
