The China Patient-centred Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) prospective heart failure study design.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

China faces the prospect of a large growth in the prevalence of heart failure (HF). However, there is limited knowledge about outcomes in patients after HF hospitalisations, including patient-reported outcomes (PROs). This paper is to present the study goal, methodology and data collection of the China Patient-centred Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Prospective Heart Failure Study (China PEACE 5p-HF Study).

Methods and analysis

The China PEACE 5p-HF Study, a prospective cohort study, will enrol 5000 patients with HF during 2016-2018 from 52 diverse hospitals throughout China and the follow-up period will be 12 months. Information on patients' medical history, in-hospital treatment and in-hospital outcomes are being abstracted from medical records. Detail
