确定预防和管理心力衰竭的优先事项需要对疾病负担模式有经验的了解。我们的目的是描述对中低收入国家（LMIC）心力衰竭负担文献进行系统回顾的方法，以及如何综合这些信息以产生有用的估计，从而为政策和实践提供信息。我们将对1995年至2012年4月期间发表的与中低收入国家心力衰竭的发病率、患病率和治疗相关的文章进行全面的搜索策略。人口将被编码为城市、农村或组合，研究将被分类为国家、次国家、基于医疗系统或社区水平。符合条件的研究的详细信息将由两位审稿人使用预先设计的数据提取表格独立提取，该表格将涵盖人口统计学信息、诊断标准（包括疾病发病率和流行率）、病史、用药史以及医院或社区管理和结果。我们将评估纳入研究的报告和方法学质量，并在适当情况下对报告的结果进行定量总结。目前，我们对中低收入人群心力衰竭负担的认识存在重要空白，本系统综述旨在提供有用的信息，以提高我们在这一领域的认识。调查结果预计将于2013年初公布。
Setting priorities for the prevention and management of heart failure requires an empirical understanding of the pattern of disease burden. We aim to describe the methods for a systematic review of the literature on burden of heart failure in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) and how this information will be synthesized to produce useful estimates that can inform policy and practice. We will conduct a comprehensive search strategy for articles published between 1995 and April 2012 related to incidence, prevalence and treatment of heart failure in LMIC. Populations will be coded as urban, rural, or combined and studies classified as national, sub-national, healthcare system-based, or community level. Details from eligible studies will be extracted independently by two reviewers using a pre-designed data extraction form that will cover information on demographics, diagnostic criteria including disease incidence and prevalence, medical history, medication history, and hospital- or community-based management and outcomes. We will assess the reporting and methodological quality of the included studies and conduct a quantitative summary of reported outcomes where appropriate. Currently, there are important gaps in our knowledge on the burden of heart failure in LMIC and this systematic review aims to provide useful information that improves our knowledge in this field. Results are expected to be publicly available in early 2013.
