Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Patients who were hospitalized with acute myocarditis between April 2012 and March 2023 were enrolled from institutions nationwide to establish a large-scale registry. This registry aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of acute myocarditis.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

Epidemiological evaluation of acute myocarditis:
Descriptive analyses of disease characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcomes according to severity, type, and etiology of myocarditis.

Longitudinal evaluation of acute myocarditis:
Investigation of temporal trends in mortality at diagnosis, treatment strategies, and the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS).

Clinical practice of fulminant myocarditis management:
Evaluation of outcomes according to the timing and combinations of MCS initiation.

Assessment of myocarditis associated with COVID-19 infection, vaccination, autoimmune diseases, and immune checkpoint inhibitors:
Exploration of clinical characteristics, treatment approaches, and outcomes in these specific contexts.

Association between steroid/immunosuppressive therapy and outcomes:
Investigation of prognosis according to the use and treatment strategies of these agents

Key inclusion criteria

The study population consists of patients aged 15 years or older who were hospitalized and treated in Japan between April 2012 and March 2023. As a secondary investigation of the JROAD database, patients will be identified if they have a diagnosis of acute myocarditis (ICD codes I40, I41, I423) recorded as the principal diagnosis under the Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) system, the admission-precipitating diagnosis, or the first or second most resource-consuming diagnosis. Additional detailed data will be collected from each participating institution.
