Description
Flu shots help many high-risk groups, but proof in acute heart failure is thin, and uptake in China stays low over weak awareness and cost. Zhang and co-authors lay out the plan for PANDA II, a trial that randomizes whole hospitals rather than single patients. Hospitals in one arm offer free flu shots as routine care before discharge, while the other arm keeps the usual limited use.
Each site aims to enroll 50 patients per flu season across three seasons, with follow-up calls at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge. The main measure is death or return to hospital. The team hopes the design settles whether routine vaccination protects this group.
