The association between socio-economic status and mortality among patients hospitalized for heart failure in China was not well understood.
Does low socio-economic status increase 1-year all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized for heart failure?
Does low socio-economic status increase 1-year all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized for heart failure?
Low socio-economic status is strongly and cumulatively associated with increased 1-year mortality in patients hospitalized for heart failure, and its inclusion improves prognostic models.
SES may refine mortality prediction in hospitalized HF; extends models but remains hypothesis-generating pending validation.
