Pneumonia incidence was 3 times higher in heart failure patients, and a first episode led to 4-fold increased mortality.
Pneumonia occurs at approximately 3 times the expected rate in heart failure patients and is associated with a 4-fold increase in mortality.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
The incidence of pneumonia was high in patients with HF, especially HFpEF, at around 3 times the expected rate. A first episode of pneumonia was associated with 4-fold higher mortality.
