Key result
Infections and increasing age are linked to higher in-hospital mortality in older AHF patients.
Observational
p-value: p== 0.001
In older patients with acute heart failure, increasing age and pulmonary infections are significant predictors of in-hospital mortality, highlighting the need to manage non-cardiovascular factors.
May support infection vigilance in older acute HF inpatients; hypothesis-generating for interventional trials.
= 0.001). In conclusion, among older patients with AHF, in-hospital mortality rates increased with increasing age, and infections were associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. In contemporary patients with AHF, along with the treatment of the CV conditions, management should be focused on timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment of non-CV factors, especially pulmonary infections.

Matteis et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Acute Heart Failure. Infections and increasing age was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p== 0.001). Infections and increasing age were associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality among older patients with acute heart failure (p=0.001).
