Key result
New ARIC protocol refines identification of acute decompensated heart failure against standard diagnostic criteria.
Why the study?
Population-based research on heart failure is hindered by lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria that differentiate acute decompensated heart failure from chronic stable heart failure.
How does a new classification protocol for identifying ADHF compare with existing diagnostic criteria in the ARIC Study?
Observational
Yes

A new classification protocol was developed to better differentiate acute decompensated heart failure from chronic stable heart failure in population-based research.
Population-based research on heart failure (HF) is hindered by lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria. Framingham (FRM), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), Modified Boston (MBS), Gothenburg (GTH), and International Classification of Disease, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code criteria do not differentiate acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) from chronic stable HF. We developed a new classification protocol for identifying ADHF in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study and compared it with these other schemes.

Bertoni et al. (2020) conducted an observational in Heart failure. New classification protocol for identifying acute decompensated heart failure vs. Framingham, NHANES, Modified Boston, Gothenburg, and ICD-9-CM criteria was evaluated on Comparison of diagnostic criteria for acute decompensated heart failure. A new classification protocol for identifying acute decompensated heart failure was developed and compared with existing diagnostic criteria in the ARIC study.
