Discharge EVEREST score ≥3 in acute heart failure linked to ~14-fold higher 30-day rehospitalization vs 0.
Why the study?
Does the EVEREST congestion score at discharge predict 30-day mortality and rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure?

Does the EVEREST congestion score at discharge predict 30-day mortality and rehospitalization in patients with acute heart failure?
The EVEREST congestion score at discharge is a simple, practical tool that strongly predicts 30-day readmission and short-term outcomes in patients with acute heart failure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May inform intensified follow-up for high-risk acute HF patients; leaves open whether score-guided interventions reduce rehospitalization.

Minh Tuấn Phạm (2026) conducted a cohort in Acute heart failure (n=254). EVEREST congestion score ≥3 at discharge vs. EVEREST congestion score 0 at discharge was evaluated on 30-day rehospitalization (OR 14.25, 95% CI 4.45-64.00, p=0.005). In patients with acute heart failure, a discharge EVEREST congestion score ≥3 was strongly associated with an increased risk of 30-day rehospitalization (OR 14.25) compared to a score of 0.
