LUDT-ADHF trial: Lung ultrasound-guided diuretic therapy for hospitalized patients with acute decompensated heart failure: An open-label clinical trial
Background Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) constitutes a major reason for hospital admissions and significantly contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Limited research indicates that lung ultrasound (LUS) may enhance the care for patients with ADHF.
Objectives The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of LUS-guided diuretic therapy on reducing length of hospital stay (LOS) and 90-day readmissions among patients with ADHF.
Methods This open-label, non-randomized clinical trial included patients with ADHF managed with diuretics based on LUS findings of B-lines and pleural effusion (LUS group) compared to those receiving standard care (control group). The primary outcome was LOS during the index admission, and secondary outcomes included 90-day ADHF readmissions, all-cause readmissions, and safety parameters like acute kidney injury, hypokalemia, and hypotension.
Results The study included a total of 77 patients, segregated into two groups: control and LUS. The median age of the patients was 68 years, with women slightly outnumbering men (53.25%, n=41). The most prevalent comorbidities were hypertension (88.31%, n=68), diabetes mellitus (59.74%, n=46), and chronic kidney disease (66.23%, n=51). The LUS group had a shorter LOS, though not statistically significant (4 vs five days, p= 0.175). Patients in the LUS group had significantly fewer 90-day ADHF readmissions compared to the control group (10.53% vs. 35.9%; p<0.01). Survival analysis demonstrated that the LUS group had a longer time to 90-day ADHF readmissions, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.24 (95% CI: 0.08–0.75, p=0.014). For 90-day all-cause readmissions, the LUS group also showed a longer time to readmission compared to controls, with an HR of 0.45 (95% CI: 0.200–1.005, p=0.046). For other safety measures, there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events, including acute kidney injury, hypokalaemia, or hypotension, between the LUS and control groups.
Conclusion LUS might reduce in-hospital mortality and readmissions among adults with acute decompensated HF. However, further double-blinded randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm these preliminary results.
期刊介绍:
Heart & Lung: The Journal of Cardiopulmonary and Acute Care, the official publication of The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses, presents original, peer-reviewed articles on techniques, advances, investigations, and observations related to the care of patients with acute and critical illness and patients with chronic cardiac or pulmonary disorders.
The Journal''s acute care articles focus on the care of hospitalized patients, including those in the critical and acute care settings. Because most patients who are hospitalized in acute and critical care settings have chronic conditions, we are also interested in the chronically critically ill, the care of patients with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders, their rehabilitation, and disease prevention. The Journal''s heart failure articles focus on all aspects of the care of patients with this condition. Manuscripts that are relevant to populations across the human lifespan are welcome.
