Yu Y, Gupta A, Wu C, et al. - Researchers focused on the characterization of the modern national landscape of inpatient heart failure (HF) care in China in order to build evidence-based, life-saving, and cost-saving hospitalization systems. Using a 2-stage random sampling, they created a nationally representative cohort of 10,004 admissions for HF from 189 hospitals in 2015 in China, in the China Patient-centered evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events Retrospective Study of Heart Failure. Centralized medical record abstraction was employed to extract data on patient features, management, and outcomes. The study sample had a median age of 73 years and 48.9% of participants were women. Among patients admitted with acute HF in China, the observed epidemiology was distinctive. These patients receive substandard care. Although length of stay of these patients was long, inpatient mortality was low.
