Preliminary Why this matters to you Expert discussion

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

AI Summary

This is a registry record for an actively recruiting interventional study examining whether daily lung ultrasound (HF-FOCUS) reduces hospital length of stay in acute decompensated heart failure compared to standard care. No results are yet posted; the record documents planned design and primary outcome only.

What was studied

Interventional, Randomized, Parallel, Open label, Diagnostic purpose. Acute Decompensated Heart Failure; age from 18 Years. Intervention: Group 2. Compared with: Group 1 — Active Comparator. n = 500. 1 site: United States.

Key findings

Safety

Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.

Who this may help

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

Plain-language summary

This is an actively recruiting interventional trial with no results posted; it is a planning document only, not an evidence report.

Study design

As stated by the source record.

MethodsPrimary outcome measure: Number of days in the hospital (assessed at Baseline)

Caveats

This is a registry record only; no results are reported.
Study phase is listed as 'NA' — regulatory phase not specified.
Planned effect size (1-day reduction) is stated as a hypothesis, not a result.
Recruitment status is 'RECRUITING'; actual enrollment and completion unknown.

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 design with blinded control arm specified; phase not stated.

Directness

strong

Primary outcome is hospital length of stay in acute decompensated heart failure.

Consistency

insufficient

No results reported; consistency cannot be assessed from registry record.

Risk of bias

insufficient

Registry record does not report allocation concealment, blinding detail, or completion rates.

Sample adequacy

moderate

Planned enrollment 500 participants; actual enrollment status unknown.

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 (NCT07572955). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Mayo Clinic. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 500 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Acute Decompensated Heart Failure. Interventions: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST: Lung Ultrasound. Primary outcome measures: Number of days in the hospital , Baseline. Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to examine shorter hospitalization length as well as a reduced rates of recurrent heart failure hospitalization compared to current standard of care in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure. A 1-day reduction in hospital length of stay in unblinded subjects receiving daily HF-FOCUS examinations compared to a blinded standard of care arm.
