Newly diagnosed congestive heart failure is associated with a two- to three-fold higher cost of healthcare services compared to matched controls, highlighting a substantial economic burden.
Bash et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Congestive heart failure (n=39,552). Congestive heart failure vs. Age- and sex-matched adults without congestive heart failure was evaluated on Total healthcare costs in the year following diagnosis (Adjusted cost ratio 3.25 (younger) and 2.08 (older), 95% CI 2.96-3.56, p=<0.001). Newly diagnosed congestive heart failure was associated with a two- to three-fold higher cost of healthcare services compared to matched controls, depending on patient age.
