Structured PICO

Does the length of hospital stay affect 30-day all-cause mortality and rehospitalization in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure?

P
Population
385 patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) regardless of etiology, registered in the Persian Registry of Cardiovascular Disease/Heart Failure (PROVE/HF).
I
Intervention
Length of hospital stay (LOS) of >6 days or 4-6 days
C
Comparator
Length of hospital stay (LOS) of <4 days
O
Outcome
30-day all-cause mortality and rehospitalizationhard clinical

In patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure, the length of hospital stay was not associated with 30-day mortality or rehospitalization.
