Do home-to-hospital distance and residential population density affect 1-year clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure?
Background: The residential environment may influence access to care and prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). Evidence on the impact of geographic factors in Japan is limited. We investigated the association of home‐to‐hospital distance and residential population density with 1‐year clinical outcomes in patients hospitalized for acute decompensated HF.
