Key result
Worsening renal function in pediatric acute decompensated heart failure was associated with in-hospital death or need for mechanical circulatory support (OR 10.2; 95% CI 1.7-61.2; p=0.011).

Odds Ratio: 10.2 (95% CI 1.7–61.2)
p-value: p=0.011
Worsening renal function is common in children hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure and is strongly associated with increased risk of in-hospital death or need for mechanical circulatory support.
Price et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Acute decompensated heart failure (n=63). Worsening renal function vs. No worsening renal function was evaluated on In-hospital death or need for mechanical circulatory support (OR 10.2, 95% CI 1.7-61.2, p=0.011). Worsening renal function in pediatric acute decompensated heart failure was associated with in-hospital death or need for mechanical circulatory support (OR 10.2; 95% CI 1.7-61.2; p=0.011).
