Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes in children diagnosed with heart failure at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design using convenience sampling was adopted. 136 children diagnosed with heart failure based on the modified Ross classification at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital between April 2017 and October 2019. Results: The mortality rate was 12.5%, 79.3% showed improvement, and 20.7% were in deteriorated condition. In the mortality group, myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy accounted for the highest rates (64.8% and 29%) while the lowest rate was congenital heart disease (5.9%). Cardiac function, heart failure status, and serum NT-ProBNP levels improved upon discharge (p<0.05). Conclusion: mortality was mostly observed in patients with myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. Cardiac function, heart failure status, and serum NT-ProBNP levels all improved upon release from the hospital.
