Why the study?
Patients and clinicians report different perspectives on heart failure readmission and preventability when unadjusted for disease severity.
There is low agreement between patients and clinicians regarding the reasons for and preventability of 30-day heart failure readmissions, highlighting the need for tailored symptom management and shared understanding.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Do not assume shared understanding of HF readmission causes; leaves open whether severity-aligned planning reduces 30-day events.
Marzinski et al. (2023) studied this question.
