Why the study?
The frequency and predictors of unplanned readmissions following incident HF hospitalisation, and their association with two-year mortality, needed investigation.
Do unplanned readmissions increase the risk of mortality in patients surviving an incident heart failure hospitalization?
Do unplanned readmissions increase the risk of mortality in patients surviving an incident heart failure hospitalization?
Unplanned readmissions after incident heart failure hospitalization are highly frequent and strongly associated with a dose-dependent increase in two-year mortality risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High unplanned readmission rates after incident HF associate with higher mortality; leaves open whether prevention strategies improve survival.
Weber et al. (2023) studied this question.
