Can an integer risk score accurately predict mortality in patients with heart failure (both reduced and preserved EF)?
A new integer-based risk score derived from over 39,000 patients can quantify mortality risk in patients with both HFrEF and HFpEF.
In patients with HF of both reduced and preserved EF, the influences of readily available predictors of mortality can be quantified in an integer score accessible by an easy-to-use website www.heartfailurerisk.org. The score has the potential for widespread implementation in a clinical setting.
Pocock et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
