Key result
Worsening NYHA class (OR 32.300; 95% CI 3.733-276.532), age > 50 years, and hypokalaemia were significant independent predictors of 1-year mortality in patients with systolic heart failure.
Observational (n=143)
Odds Ratio: 32.3 (95% CI 3.733–276.532)
p-value: p=0.002
In patients with systolic heart failure, age > 50 years, worsening NYHA class, and hypokalaemia are strong independent predictors of 1-year mortality.

May support risk stratification in systolic HF; leaves open whether targeting these factors improves outcomes.
Sajeev et al. (2016) conducted an observational in systolic heart failure (n=143). Worsening NYHA class was evaluated on mortality (OR 32.300, 95% CI 3.733-276.532, p=0.002). Worsening NYHA class (OR 32.300; 95% CI 3.733-276.532), age > 50 years, and hypokalaemia were significant independent predictors of 1-year mortality in patients with systolic heart failure.
