Preliminary Why this matters to you Expert discussion

Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.

AI Summary

This is a completed registry record for an 8-week interventional study of machine-based resistance training in 146 older patients with concurrent sarcopenia and chronic heart failure. No results are posted in this registry record; the primary outcome (change in muscle strength at 8 weeks) has not been reported.

What was studied

Interventional, Randomized, Parallel, Single masking, Treatment purpose. Sarcopenia in Elderly, Chronic Heart Failure; age from 60 Years. Intervention: Machine-based Resistance Training Group. Compared with: Usual Care Group (US) — No Intervention. n = 146. 2 sites: Vietnam.

Key findings

Safety

Secondary outcomes and safety endpoints are not detailed in the registry summary.

Who this may help

The source did not state who this applies to in practice.

Plain-language summary

Caveats

No results are reported in this registry record.
Blinding status, randomization method, and comparator arm (if any) are not described.
No sample size justification or power calculation is stated.
Secondary outcomes and safety endpoints are not detailed in the registry summary.

Evidence assessment

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

Study design

moderate

Interventional study with stated 8-week duration and defined primary outcome.

Directness

moderate

Directly addresses sarcopenia and resistance training in older HF patients.

Consistency

insufficient

No results posted; consistency cannot be assessed.

Risk of bias

insufficient

Registry record does not describe blinding, allocation concealment, or analysis plan.

Sample adequacy

moderate

146 participants enrolled; adequacy depends on unpublished power calculation.

What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.

Source abstract

Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06785168). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Kieu Dang Phuong Nguyen. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 146 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Sarcopenia in Elderly, Chronic Heart Failure. Interventions: OTHER: Machine-based Resistance Training. Primary outcome measures: The change of muscle strength , Baseline and 8 weeks. Brief summary: The goal of study is to evaluate the effects of an eight-week machine-based resistance training program on managing sarcopenia in older outpatients with chronic heart failure (HF) at Military Hospital 175.
