Brief summary
This retrospective (between April 2020 and December 2023) then prospective (between January 2024 and August 2026), non-interventional cohort study has as its main objective to evaluate the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients aged 75 and over hospitalized in geriatrics for heart failure and also to evaluate the clinical characteristics and triggering factor(s) of acute heart failure.
Detailed description
Multicenter study, including patients aged 75 and over, hospitalized in geriatrics and having suffered heart failure in the geriatric wards of 3 centers. The following elements will be collected: * Demographic data * History (comorbidities) * Type of heart disease * Frailty criteria * Clinical signs of heart failure * Geriatric syndromes (falls, cognitive disorders, (MMSE) confusion, malnutrition, loss of autonomy (ADL, IADL), bedsores) * Biology available (CBC, ionogram, creatinine, NT pro BNP, BHC, troponin, TSH, HBA1C) * ECG and echocardiography data * Treatment on admission, during stay and on discharge * Mode of discharge and length of stay * Follow-up at 3, 6, 9 months and one year, through telephone calls with the patient, caregiver or attending physician. Questions will cover various aspects of health and quality of life, physical activity limitations, autonomy, symptoms, anxiety, depression, as well as neurocognitive status (using adapted questions).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluate the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of elderly patients hospitalized in geriatrics for heart failure | 36 months | To Evaluate the clinical and therapeutic characteristics of elderly patients hospitalized in geriatrics for heart failure with 80% power and 5% alpha risk and expressed as a percentage. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Factors associated with patients hospitalization or rehospitalization | 12 months | Quantitative data will be described as mean ± standard deviation. Qualitative variables will be expressed as percentages Statistical differences (hospitalized and/or deceased vs. non-rehospitalized and/or non-deceased patients) will be assessed using the Mann-Whitney U-test and Student's t-test for non-parametric and parametric continuous variables, respectively. Discrete variables will be normally distributed, and by the Mann-Whitney test for those not normally distributed. Survival curves will be drawn to analyze mortality and hospitalizations. Evaluated using the χ2 or Fisher test. Differences between groups will be assessed by ANOVA for the variables |
