Implication
Longer LOS may flag higher 90-day mortality risk in acute HF; leaves open whether in-hospital worsening is modifiable or affects outcomes.

Population
1990 patients enrolled in the PROTECT study, admitted for acute heart failure (AHF) with mild to moderate renal impairment within 24 h of admission.
O
Outcome
Length of stay (LOS), 30-day post-discharge heart failure readmission, and 90-day post-discharge mortalityhard clinical
In patients admitted for acute heart failure, length of stay is strongly associated with in-hospital worsening heart failure and predicts 90-day mortality, but does not predict 30-day readmission.
