Key result
In patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, iron status changed significantly over 30 days (P=0.00001), with the overall prevalence of iron deficiency decreasing from 83% to 68% (P=0.07).

Suggests acute iron deficiency assessments may not reflect baseline status; leaves open the optimal timing for testing.

Absolute Event Rate: 68% vs 83%
p-value: p=0.07
Iron status in acutely decompensated heart failure is not stationary and changes significantly over 30 days, weakly correlating with changes in systemic inflammation.
Aelst et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Acutely decompensated heart failure (n=47). Guideline-based treatments for acutely decompensated heart failure vs. Baseline (Day 0) was evaluated on Overall prevalence of iron deficiency (p=0.07). In patients with acutely decompensated heart failure, iron status changed significantly over 30 days (P=0.00001), with the overall prevalence of iron deficiency decreasing from 83% to 68% (P=0.07).
