Trends in heart failure prevalence in Japan 2014-2019: a report from healthcare administration databases.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Contemporary estimates of heart failure (HF) prevalence in Japan are scarce. We aimed to estimate HF prevalence and trends in Japan using nationally representative, large administrative claims databases.

Methods and results

This retrospective analysis used data from the Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC) (age ≤74 years) and the Medical Data Vision (MDV) (all ages) databases (study period: 1 January 2014-31 December 31 2019). We calculated HF prevalence using crude and sex-/age-standardized models (weighting based on Japanese census data, 2014-2019). Among 8 954 313 individuals aged ≤74 years from JMDC, and 27 920 174 of all ages from MDV, the cumulative 6 year (2014-2019) crude and sex-/age-standardized prevalence of HF per 1000 persons (95% confidence intervals) in Japan
