Singapore Cohort of Patients with Advanced Heart Failure
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Feb 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) is one of the leading causes of death in Singapore. Although it is well established that CHF patients in Singapore are less likely to be referred to palliative care services than cancer patients, little data is available on end-of-life (EOL) experience of advanced CHF patients in Singapore, including the inter-relationships between patient decision-making, quality of life trajectories, and health and cost consequences.
