Does absolute blood eosinophil count predict 1-year cardiovascular mortality in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure?
Relative Risk: 4.4
Lower absolute eosinophil count at admission is an independent predictor of 1-year cardiovascular mortality in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure.
Çıkrıkçıoğlu et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Acute heart failure (n=176). Absolute eosinophil count (AEC) ≤0.02 n/l×10 vs. AEC >0.02 n/l×10 was evaluated on Cardiovascular deaths during the first year after hospitalization (4.4-fold higher). An absolute eosinophil count of ≤0.02 n/l×10 at admission was associated with a 4.4-fold higher 1-year cardiovascular death rate in patients hospitalized with acute heart failure.
