Can the ADHERE risk tree using admission vital signs and laboratory data accurately stratify the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure?
The ADHERE risk tree provides clinicians with a validated, practical bedside tool for mortality risk stratification in patients with acutely decompensated heart failure.
These results suggest that ADHF patients at low, intermediate, and high risk for in-hospital mortality can be easily identified using vital sign and laboratory data obtained on hospital admission. The ADHERE risk tree provides clinicians with a validated, practical bedside tool for mortality risk stratification.
