Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this cohort study is to observe the effectiveness of Yiqi Fumai Lyophilized Injection (YQFM) in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). It mainly aims to assess the effectiveness of YQFM on the 90-day mortality or readmission rate in patients with AHF and compare the results with AUGUST-AHF RCT study. There will be no intervention, but information will be collected during the hospital stay and during the follow-up period of 180 days . Researchers will compare exposed group(patients who received YQFM) and non-exposed group(patients who didn't received YQFM) to see if there is difference on the 90-day mortality or readmission rate.

Description:

It mainly aims to assess the effectiveness of YQFM on the 90-day mortality or readmission rate in patients with AHF and compare the results with AUGUST-AHF RCT study. There will be no intervention, but patients will be asked to answer questions(such as scales or reporting of symptoms ) and provide biochemical or imaging tests, as well as undergo regular follow-up. Researchers will compare exposed group(patients who received YQFM) and non-exposed group(patients who didn't received YQFM) to see if there is difference on the 90-day mortality or readmission rate. We will also collect information on medication adherence during the follow-up period and remotely test patients during the follow-up period

Secondary	MACE	major cardiovascular adverse event	180 day
Secondary	length of hospital stay	the length of patients staying in hospital	during the hospitalization of patients, an average of 10 days
Secondary	dyspnoea via visual analogue scale (VAS)	Dyspnea VAS scores range from a maximum of 10 to a minimum of 0. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. 10 means extreme dyspnea, and 0 means no dyspnea.	during the hospitalization of patients, an average of 10 days
Secondary	dyspnoea via Likert 7-point scale	The Likert 7-point scores range from a maximum of 7 to a minimum of 1. Higher scores mean a better outcome.	during the hospitalization of patients, an average of 10 days
Secondary	NYHA cardiac function classification	New York Heart Association cardiac function classification	180 day
Secondary	Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Quality of Life (MLHFQ) scale	Likert 7-point scores range from a maximum of 105 to a minimum of 0. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.	180 day
Secondary	Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS)-8 scale	MMAS-8 scores range from a maximum of 8 to a minimum of 0. Higher scores mean a better outcome	180 day

Secondary	number of participants eligible for the randomized controlled trial of AUGUST-AHF	Patients will complete a questionnaire with the help of researchers. This questionnaire includes the inclusion criteria for another study, the randomized controlled trial of AUGUST-AHF. After the patient has completed the questionnaire, the investigator will determine whether the patient meets the criteria based on the results	at admission
