Why the study?
Does absolute lymphocyte count ≤ 1500 cells/mm3 predict mortality and readmission in patients hospitalized for heart failure?
Does absolute lymphocyte count ≤ 1500 cells/mm3 predict mortality and readmission in patients hospitalized for heart failure?
An absolute lymphocyte count ≤ 1500 cells/mm3 is a predictor of higher mortality in patients hospitalized for heart failure.
May aid HF mortality prognostication; leaves open incremental value over standard scores.
In patients with heart failure and both subgroups, ALC less than or equal to 1500 cells/mm3 had a higher risk of mortality. Patients in lower groups of the ALC categories had a higher risk of mortality.
