Study design details

Main study objective

To describe the demographic and clinical features of HFrEF patients managed in the outpatient sector and the diagnostic and pharmacological interventions they receive and the demographic and clinical features of patients for whom treating physician decided to start sacubitril/valsartan, the pattern of administration of this drug, the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions these patients receive

Outcomes

- Descriptive analysis of baseline characteristics of patients initiated on sacubitril/valsartan and patients continued on SoC in outpatient sector - Descriptive analysis of profile of sacubitril/valsartan patients not reaching and maintaining target dose of 200mg twice daily in terms of demographics, medical history, HF status, comorbidity burden as compared with patients reaching target dose, - describe the overall HFrEF population managed in the outpatient sector in Europe- describe HF-treatment in the outpatient sector in Europe- describe the starting dose, titration and maintenance dose of sacubitril/valsartan in patients with different anamnestic and demographic characteristics- describe safety and tolerability features of sacubitril/valsartan in real-world HF patients

Data analysis plan

Only descriptive data analyses will be carried out, supported by calculation of confidence intervals. No statistical testing will be performed. Analyses will be performed for the total sample and stratified by demographic, anamnestic and medical factors (e.g. sex, duration of HF, severity of HF, previous HF-treatment), using an adequate grouping. As appropriate, analysis of all endpoints will also be carried out after stratification according to CHF treatment during the observation period.
