Key result
Chronic comorbidities predict higher in-hospital mortality and worse outcomes in nonagenarians with acute HFpEF.
Why the study?
Acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a common but poorly studied cause of hospital admissions among nonagenarians.
Observational
Yes
p-value: p=0.020
In nonagenarians hospitalized with acute HFpEF, chronic comorbidities are significant predictors of poor outcomes including in-hospital mortality and 30-day readmission.
Comorbidities identify high-risk nonagenarians with acute HFpEF; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions pending prospective validation.
BACKGROUD: Acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a common but poorly studied cause of hospital admissions among nonagenarians. This study aimed to evaluate predictors of thirty-day readmission, in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and hospital charges in nonagenarians hospitalized with acute HFpEF. RESULTS: = 0.020) were amongst predictors of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS: In nonagenarians hospitalized with acute HFpEF, thirty-day readmission is common and costly. Chronic comorbidities predict poor outcomes. Further strategies need to be developed to improve the quality of care and prevent the poor outcome in nonagenarians.
