Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to investigate the prevalence and overlap of frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with chronic heart failure in Japan and Korea, and to examine their impact on hospital-associated disability (HAD) as well as short-term prognosis, including readmission and mortality within 30, 90, and 180 days after discharge. Through an international, multicenter retrospective observational study, we seek to clarify the dose-response relationship of overlapping geriatric syndromes and contribute evidence to improve risk assessment and discharge planning in the management of elderly heart failure patients in Asia.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

To retrospectively examine the impact of overlapping frailty and sarcopenia on hospital-associated disability (HAD), readmission, and mortality in older patients with chronic heart failure. This study also aims to provide foundational data to improve risk stratification and discharge support systems for elderly heart failure patients in Asia, through international comparison between Japan and Korea.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

1. Prevalence of frailty in older patients with chronic heart failure in Japan and Korea
2. Prevalence of sarcopenia in the same population
3. Prevalence of coexisting frailty and sarcopenia
4. Incidence of hospital-associated disability(HAD) at the time of hospital discharge

Key secondary outcomes

1. Readmission rates within 30, 90, and 180 days after hospital discharge
2. Mortality rates within 30, 90, and 180 days after hospital discharge
3. Impact of coexisting frailty and sarcopenia on these readmission and mortality outcomes

Key inclusion criteria

1. Patients aged 65 years or older who are admitted to a participating hospital in Japan or Korea due to chronic heart failure
2. Patients whose clinical condition has stabilized after acute treatment and who are deemed eligible for assessment by both the attending physician and physical therapist
3. Patients who are judged to be capable of undergoing frailty and sarcopenia assessments safely during hospitalization
4. Patients (or legal representatives) who provide written informed consent after receiving sufficient explanation of the study

Key exclusion criteria

1. Patients for whom clinical assessment is deemed inappropriate due to acute myocardial infarction or other serious acute illnesses
2. Patients with severe dementia or impaired communication making it difficult to conduct evaluation or obtain informed consent
3. Patients with physical conditions that prevent the safe implementation of muscle function or basic mobility assessments
