Key result
Among Thai patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 5.5%, with significantly higher mortality in those with poor left ventricular systolic function compared to preserved function (8.2% vs. 4.1%, p=0.008).
Observational (n=1,612)
Open-label
Yes
Indicates elevated mortality risk with reduced EF in Thai ADHF; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for prospective validation.

Laothavorn et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (n=1,612). Acute decompensated heart failure was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Among Thai patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 5.5%, with significantly higher mortality in those with poor left ventricular systolic function compared to preserved function (8.2% vs. 4.1%, p=0.008).
