Key result
A review of mortality prediction scales for acute heart failure highlights the theoretical foundations of various risk scores and the ongoing need for accessible, accurate prognostic tools.
Why the study?
Heart failure is a public health problem and multiple scales have been designed to predict mortality risk, prompting a systematization of the theoretical references supporting mortality risk prediction scales for acute heart failure.
This paper provides a theoretical systematization of mortality risk prediction scales used in acute heart failure.
Acute HF mortality scales warrant cautious use; leaves open development of accessible, validated prognostic tools.
Introduction: Heart failure is a public health problem. Multiple scales have been designed to predict mortality risk.Objective: to systematize the theoretical references that support the mortality risk prediction scales due to acute heart failureDevelopment: different researchers approach the prediction process from different areas of knowledge, at the national and international level, and theoretical positions related to the topic are adopted.Conclusions: the systematization carried out on the mortality prediction scales for acute heart failure allowed us to establish an approach to the theoretical references that support the topic.
