Why the study?
AHF carries a poor prognosis, and clinical indicators are needed to determine heart failure prognosis and evaluate whether the HALP score can accurately predict in-hospital mortality.

HALP score shows modest discrimination for acute HF mortality; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before any clinical role.
Does the HALP score predict in-hospital mortality in patients with acute heart failure?
The HALP score is a readily calculable tool that may help predict in-hospital mortality in patients admitted for acute heart failure.
Akbulut et al. (2025) studied this question.
