| アブストラクト | BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is a global burden on healthcare systems, but the literature regarding nationwide trends in the care and outcomes of HF hospitalization in Japan is limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the trends in patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of patients hospitalized with acute HF. METHODS AND RESULTS: We used data from the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac and Vascular Diseases and the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database between April 2012 and March 2021 to analyze 840,357 patients aged >/=18 years who were hospitalized with an acute HF diagnosis. Over the study period (2012-2020), the mean (+/-standard deviation) age increased from 78.9 (+/-11.9) years to 80.9 (+/-11.8) years (P for trend <0.001), the proportion of female patients decreased from 48.7% to 47.5% (P for trend=0.02), crude in-hospital mortality rate decreased from 11.5% to 10.9%, and 30-day HF readmissions decreased from 7.4% to 7.0% (both P for trend <0.001). The reduction in outcomes was more apparent in the older age groups. The standardized outcomes demonstrated the same trends as the crude outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Our nationwide hospital admission analysis clarified that patients hospitalized with acute HF were getting older, but mortality and readmission rates also decreased, especially in older patients during the 2010s. |
