Key result
In patients surviving a first heart failure admission, predictors of HF readmission (e.g., arrhythmias, OR 1.13) differed from non-HF readmission (e.g., dementia, OR 1.29).

Differentiated predictors may refine post-HF risk stratification; leaves open targeted interventions pending prospective validation.

Predictors of readmission in heart failure patients differ depending on whether the readmission is for heart failure or non-heart failure causes, but these predictors remain relatively stable over time.
Bottle et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=70,108). Patient co-morbidities and care factors vs. Absence of respective factors was evaluated on Unplanned readmission by primary diagnosis (HF and non-HF) at 7, 30, 90, 182, and 365 days. In patients surviving a first heart failure admission, predictors of HF readmission (e.g., arrhythmias, OR 1.13) differed from non-HF readmission (e.g., dementia, OR 1.29).
