Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
From April 2005 to March 2010 in BEACH (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health), chronic heart failure (CHF) was managed at a rate of 0.7 per 100 encounters, suggesting it was managed by general practitioners about 717 000 times per year nationally. Chronic heart failure was significantly more likely to be managed among males than females (male patients 0.8 per 100 encounters; females 0.6). The management rate among patients aged 65-74 years (0.9 per 100 encounters) was significantly higher than for those aged 45-64 years (0.2), and the rate for patients aged 75+ was significantly higher again (3 per 100 encounters). Most common other problems managed with CHF were hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which together accounted for one-quarter of the other problems managed at CHF encounters. |
