Nozawa et al. (Fri,) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure. History of hospitalisation for heart failure was evaluated on Mean total Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) score (p=0.037). History of hospitalisation for heart failure was significantly associated with the mean total Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) score (p = 0.037).
