Why the study?
Does decreased renal function predict re-hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure?
Does decreased renal function predict re-hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure?
Renal dysfunction independently predicts re-hospitalization in patients with congestive heart failure, highlighting the need for careful post-discharge follow-up.
May inform post-discharge risk stratification in HF; leaves open whether renal-targeted interventions reduce readmissions.
Renal dysfunction is an independent predictor of re-hospitalization for CHF, so careful follow-up is needed, even after discharge.
