Abstract
Introduction: There are limited data on the burden of newly diagnosed patients with heart failure (HF) in Thailand. Thus, this study aimed to fully understand the hospitalization, rehospitalization, mortality rates, demographics and characteristics, and quality of care in these patients.
Method: A retrospective review of all eligible adult patients' medical records from 2018 and 2019 was conducted at five hospitals. The patients were newly diagnosed with HF, as indicated by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code "I50." Descriptive statistics was used to investigate patients' hospital burden and clinical outcome data.
Results: There were 1134 patients newly diagnosed with HF, classified as HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) (44.0, 40.0, and 16.0%, respectively). The male-to-female ratios in HFmrEF and HFpEF were similar. In contrast, the proportion of men with HFrEF was greater. The mean age of all patients was 66.0 years. The hospitalization rate was 1.3. Rehospitalization rates for HF-related issues were 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.5 at 30 days, 60 days, 180 days, and 1 year, respectively. The percentage of deaths from all causes among these patients was 9.8%, while the percentage of deaths from cardiovascular-related causes was 8.5%. Only a small proportion of patients received a target dose of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).
Conclusions: The study revealed that the characteristics, hospitalization rate for HF, and in-hospital mortality rate among newly diagnosed patients with HF were higher compared to similar studies conducted in Thailand and other countries. Moreover, a high quality of care is needed to improve the morbidity and mortality associated with HF in Thailand.
泰国新诊断心力衰竭患者的实际临床负担。
导言：有关泰国新诊断的心力衰竭（HF）患者负担的数据十分有限。因此，本研究旨在全面了解这些患者的住院率、再住院率、死亡率、人口统计学和特征以及护理质量：在五家医院对 2018 年和 2019 年所有符合条件的成年患者病历进行了回顾性审查。患者均为新确诊的心房颤动患者，以国际疾病分类（ICD）-10代码 "I50 "表示。采用描述性统计方法调查患者的住院负担和临床结果数据：新确诊的心房颤动患者有 1134 人，分为射血分数降低型心房颤动（HFrEF）、射血分数保留型心房颤动（HFpEF）和射血分数轻度降低型心房颤动（HFmrEF）（分别占 44.0%、40.0% 和 16.0%）。HFmrEF和HFpEF的男女比例相似。相比之下，男性 HFrEF 患者的比例更高。所有患者的平均年龄为 66.0 岁。住院率为 1.3。在30天、60天、180天和1年内，因心房颤动相关问题再次住院的比率分别为0.1、0.2、0.4和0.5。在这些患者中，死于各种原因的比例为 9.8%，而死于心血管相关原因的比例为 8.5%。只有一小部分患者接受了目标剂量的指导性药物治疗（GDMT）：研究显示，与泰国和其他国家的类似研究相比，新诊断出的心房颤动患者的特征、心房颤动住院率和院内死亡率都较高。此外，要改善泰国心房颤动相关的发病率和死亡率，还需要高质量的护理。

期刊介绍：
Aims and Scope
Cardiology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer reviewed (single-blind), rapid-publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of cardiovascular therapies and interventions, including devices. Studies relating to diagnosis and diagnostics, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, as well as patient care, management and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, ischaemic heart disease and acute cardiac care, myocardial, valvular, pericardial and congenital heart disease, vascular and pulmonary disease (including hypertension), arrhythmias, heart failure, non-invasive diagnostic techniques, and invasive and interventional cardiology as well as cardiovascular surgery.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols and short communications such as commentaries and editorials. Cardiolology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals.
Rapid Publication
The journal’s publication timelines aim for a rapid peer review of 2 weeks. If an article is accepted it will be published 3–4 weeks from acceptance. The rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model this allows for the rapid, efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, fostering the advancement of cardiovascular therapies.
Personal Service
The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning authors will always have an editorial contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research.
Digital Features and Plain Language Summaries
Cardiology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’.

Publication Fees
Upon acceptance of your article for publication, authors will be required to pay the mandatory Rapid Service Fee of £3650/€4500/$5100. The journal will consider fee discounts for developing countries and this is decided on a case by case basis.
Open Access
All articles published by Cardiology and Therapy are published open access.
Peer Review Process
Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria.
At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision, with the exception of some article types such as Commentaries, Editorials and Letters which are generally reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case by case basis and should be sent to the journal editor.
Preprints
We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting during the submission process or at any other point during consideration in one of our journals. Once the preprint is published, it is the author’s responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website.
