S-ADHF:Sarcopenia in Patients With ADHF (S-ADHF)

March 8, 2024 updated by: Huan Ma, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital

Effect of Sarcopenia on Prognosis of Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: a Prospective, Multi-center, Observational Cohort Study

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.

Detailed Description

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.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
sarcopenia
Acute decompensated heart failure with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia will be defined using the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria in the study. According to the guidelines, we can define participants as having sarcopenia when low muscle strength or physical performance coexisted with low skeletal muscle mass. We will define low muscle strength as handgrip strength <26kg for men and <18 kg for women, low physical performance as a walk speed of <1.0m/s for both sexes. We can use bioelectrical impedance analysis to measure the appendicular skeletal muscle mass. The appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) is calculated as the sum of muscle mass in the extremities divided by the height squared (kg/m2). The cut-off values of <7.00 kg/m2 for men and <5.70 kg/m2 for women will be used.
Non-sarcopenia
Acute decompensated heart failure without sarcopenia
