  Figure 3. Hospitalization rate for HF and mortality rate for HF in general population from 2002 to 2023 in Korea. (A) Temporal trend of hospitalization rates for any cause, for HF as primary or secondary diagnosis, and for HF as primary diagnosis. (B) Temporal trends of mortality rates for HF. HF = heart failure.

  Figure 6. Survival curves and 1-year survival rates among patients with HF. The 15-year survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. (A) Fifteen-year survival curve for all newly diagnosed HF patients. (B) Fifteen-year survival curves for newly diagnosed HF in inpatient and outpatient setting. (C) One-year survival rate after diagnosis of HF in inpatient setting. (D) One-year survival rate after diagnosis of HF in outpatient setting. HF = heart failure.

• 

  Figure 7. Five-year survival curves among patients newly diagnosed with HF according to calendar period of diagnosis. Five-year survival rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and analyzed by grouping patients according to calendar period of initial HF diagnosis in 3-year intervals. (A) Five-year survival curves among patients newly diagnosed with HF in inpatient setting. (B) Five-year survival curves among patients newly diagnosed with HF in outpatient setting. HF = heart failure.
