Objectives:To understand the differences in clinical characteristics, treatment status, and prognosis between outpatient and inpatient heart failure patients in the real world.Methods:A prospective, multicenter registration study was conducted to select 972 outpatient or inpatient heart failure patients from 24 different regions and levels of hospitals in China from December 2012 to November 2014. Demographic and clinical data, as well as treatment status, were collected and followed up at 1 year. The difference in medication treatment status between baseline and 1-year follow-up was compared using McNemar paired χ 2 test. Pearson χ 2 test was used to compare the differences in clinical data, treatment status, and outcomes between outpatient and inpatient patients. Results:There were 610 outpatient patients (62.8%), and the proportion of outpatient patients under 65 years old was higher than that of hospitalized patients [44.9%(274/610) vs 35.1%(127/362), P<0.05]. The proportion of NYHA grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ patients was as high as 50.8%(310/610), and 92.5%(564/610) of outpatient patients had difficulty breathing while walking uphill. 27.9%(170/610) of outpatient patients had jugular vein pressure greater than 6 cmH 2O, and 24.3%(148/610) of outpatient patients had pulmonary moist rales. There was no significant difference in the main causes of heart failure between outpatient and inpatient patients ( P=0.063), with ischemic cardiomyopathy being the main cause. At baseline, the use of beta blockers in outpatient patients was higher than that in hospitalized patients [63.0%(384/610) vs 54.4%(197/362), P<0.05], while the use of diuretics and aldosterone receptor antagonists was lower than that in hospitalized patients [53.1%(324/610) vs 72.1%(261/362), 49.5%(302/610) vs 61.3%(222/362), P<0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the use of ACEI/ARB between the two groups [67.4%(411/610) vs 62.4%(226/362), P>0.05]. At one-year follow-up, the use of ACEI/ARB in outpatient patients decreased [63.5%(360/567) vs 67.4%(411/610), P<0.05], the usage rate of aldosterone receptor antagonists in hospitalized patients decreased by [50.3%(165/328) vs 61.3%(222/362), P<0.05]. The one-year all-cause mortality rate of the two groups of patients was close to [6.7%(41/610) vs 9.4%(34/362), P=0.124], The hospitalization rate for heart failure in the outpatient group was lower than that of hospitalized patients [25.4%(155/610) vs 36.5%(132/362), P<0.05], but still>25.0%. Conclusions:Outpatient heart failure patients still have obvious symptoms and signs, and the prognosis is poor. The standardized management of outpatient heart failure patients cannot be ignored.

Objective:To explore the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of precursor B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia with C- MYC rearrangement (preBLL) in children. Methods:The clinical data in 2 cases of childhood preBLL in Department of Hematology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics in June and August 2019 were summarized and analyzed.Results:Both cases were acute lymphoblastic leukemia with precursor B-cell immunophenotype.Hepatosplenomegaly and peripheral white blood cells were significantly increased, and the morphology of bone marrow was L3. C- MYC rearrangement was discovered by cytogenetic tests.Both children have received the treatment of the mature B-cell tumor protocol (FAB/LMB96), and early remission was developed in 1 case with TP53 gene mutation but relapsed thereafter and died finally.Another case had reached sustained complete remission after treatment. Conclusions:Children with preBLL is rare, and routine C- MYC rearrangement should be performed in children with Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia whose morphology of bone marrow was L3.Its treatment needs to be further studied, and multi-center clinical trials need to be actively conducted to analyze and summarize large numbers of cases to identify effective protocol and improve the prognosis.
