Key result
Noncompliance was the most significant factor associated with 90-day hospital readmission in heart failure patients (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.57-8.28).
Why the study?
Heart failure is a leading cause of readmission and hospitalization, prompting an investigation into the factors contributing to readmissions in patients with heart failure.
Population
146 patients with HF in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Comparison
Readmission vs non-readmission
Design
Prospective-observational single-centre study

May inform readmission risk stratification in HF; leaves open whether targeting noncompliance or anemia reduces events.

Noncompliance, low hemoglobin, and advanced NYHA class are significant predictors of hospital readmission in patients with heart failure.
Al-Tamimi et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=146). Noncompliance vs. Compliance was evaluated on 90-day hospital readmission (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.57-8.28, p=0.02). Noncompliance was the most significant factor associated with 90-day hospital readmission in heart failure patients (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.57-8.28).
