INITIATE-HF: Iron Deficiency in Heart Failure
This study, called INITIATE-HF, is looking at whether reminding doctors about guidelines for treating iron deficiency in adults with heart failure (when the heart can't pump enough blood) helps more patients get intravenous (IV) iron (iron given directly into a vein). You could be eligible if you are an adult (over 18) with heart failure, have a specific type of heart failure (left ventricular ejection fraction less than 50%), are currently in the hospital, and have iron deficiency (TSAT less than 20%). The study will compare two groups of medical centers: one where doctors are notified about iron deficiency guidelines and one where they are not. The main goal is to see what percentage of patients receive IV iron within 7 days of being admitted to the hospital.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study involving 3000 participants. It's a cluster randomized controlled trial, meaning medical centers are randomly assigned to either receive notifications or not.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome is measured within 7 days of confirmed eligibility.

What this trial measures
- % of patients receiving IV iron within 7 days of hospital admissionFrom the day of confirmed eligibility up to 7 days later
The primary outcome is the implementation outcome of the percentage of patients who receive IV iron within 7 days of hospitalization to determine how the provider-facing notification influences provider behavior and care processes.
