Implication

May support multiparametric risk stratification in elderly HF; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Elderly patients with chronic heart failure
I
Intervention
Multiparametric risk stratification using biochemical, echocardiographic, demographic, and socioeconomical parameters
O
Outcome
Clinical outcomes (particularly cardiovascular) and hospital readmissions

A multiparametric approach combining biochemical, echocardiographic, demographic, and socioeconomical parameters is recommended for risk stratification in elderly patients with chronic heart failure to improve quality of life and resource allocation.

Cite This Study

Rosa et al. (2018) conducted a review in Heart failure in elderly patients. Multiparametric risk stratification (biochemical, echocardiographic, demographic, and socioeconomical parameters) was evaluated on Clinical outcomes and hospital readmissions. A multiparametric approach combining biochemical, echocardiographic, demographic, and socioeconomical parameters may improve risk stratification for clinical outcomes and readmissions in elderly HF patients.
