Implication
MECKI score may aid HFrEF decisions; leaves open prospective trials to confirm outcome impact.
Structured PICO

Intervention
MECKI score (Metabolic Exercise combined with Cardiac and Kidney Indexes)

Other commonly used prognostic scores for heart failure
O
Outcome
Prognosis and mortality prediction
The MECKI score is a validated prognostic tool for HFrEF that may be extended to other populations and serve as a candidate endpoint for adaptive trials.
