Heart failure strongly co-occurs with pneumonia and myocardial infarction in the year prior to death, highlighting these conditions as critical terminal events in patients with heart disease.
Estimación del efecto: OR 6.50 (95% CI 4.54-9.31)
Background: Vascular failure is strongly associated with heart diseases. Although heart diseases have long been the leading cause of death, its co-occurance with other diseases in the several years preceding death remains unknown. This observational study, patient hospital data to analyze the co-occurance of diseases within the 10 years preceding patients' death.
