Association of Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation with Short-Term Clinical Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

  Figure 1. Flowchart of the study. Altogether, 4000 ADHF patients enrolled in WET-HF registry were divided into 2 groups, namely patients who received NPPV and those who did not receive NPPV in the pre-matched cohort. After propensity matching, 433 pairs were available as the post-matched cohort. ADHF: acute decompensated heart failure, WET-HF: West Tokyo Heart Failure, NPPV: non-invasive positive pressure ventilation.

  Figure 2. In-hospital outcomes in the post-matched cohort. (A) ETI rate, (B) in-hospital mortality, and (C) LOS in the post-matched cohort are depicted. ETI, endotracheal intubation; NPPV, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation; LOS, length of hospital stay.

  Figure 3. In-hospital outcomes with adjustment for propensity score in the pre-matched overall cohort and the stratified groups. (A) ETI rate for overall population, (B) in-hospital mortality for overall population, (C) ETI rate for stratified groups, and (D) in-hospital death for stratified groups are depicted. ETI, endotracheal intubation; NPPV, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation; BMI, body mass index (low BMI: BMI < 18.5, middle BMI: 18.5 ≤ BMI < 25, high BMI: BMI ≥ 25); Hx, history; sBP, systolic blood pressure; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; CONUT, the Controlling Nutritional Status.
