Study summary

Hypokalemia is very common in heart failure patients. Deleterious effects have been report on the cardiovascular system. Most of the clinical data concerning this ionic trouble are based on post-hoc study and some findings seemed disjointed.

Read the detailed description

This study tried to describe hypokalemia impact during hospital stay in hospitalized patients with heart failure and particularly on mortality and re-hospitalization.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Nov 2018, 12 months.

Of 793 non-industry observational studies under Heart Failure, half reached primary completion within 45 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 99. This study's 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 975 studies reached it within 41 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 89.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 4, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
