Study summary

This study aims to conduct a second round of multicenter, prospective registry research targeting elderly patients with valvular heart disease, to understand the current status of interventions for patients with valvular heart disease. To systematically evaluate the distribution of types, clinical characteristics, interventions, and complications of elderly valvular heart disease, and to compare and analyze these with the China-DVD data from 2016, thereby revealing its evolutionary trends. By comprehensively considering various clinical characteristics such as different types of valvular lesions, treatment modalities, patient cardiac function, comorbidities, and blood test indicators, as well as multidimensional factors including psychological and lifestyle aspects, to deeply identify the key determinants influencing the treatment of elderly valvular heart disease patients in China, and thus optimize and improve their individualized comprehensive management pathways.

Study population

This project is scheduled to be implemented from September to December 2026. It will consecutively enroll hospitalized patients with moderate and severe valvular heart disease across the original 69 national research centers of China-DVD, with the research protocol and definitions fully consistent with those in 2016.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. First valve intervention during this hospitalization

    Underwent their first internal medicine intervention or surgical procedure during hospitalization for valvular heart disease in this study

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. 1、Repeat valve intervention 2、Cardiovascular adverse events

    1 、Repeat valve intervention : After the first valve intervention, the patient receives another valve surgical or interventional procedure due to valvular-related causes. 2、Cardiovascular adverse events : Any new-onset or recurrent cardiovascular disease, rehospitalization for cardiovascular reasons, and cardiac death, etc.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the 12-month follow-up endpoint

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

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 3 months later.

Of 95 non-industry observational studies under Heart Valve Diseases, half reached primary completion within 67 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 212. This study's planned 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 115 studies reached it within 67 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 212.

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 Sep 11, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
