Advanced Heart Failure Characteristics and Outcomes in Commercially Insured U.S. Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The characteristics and outcomes of patients with advanced heart failure (HF) have been poorly defined due to challenges in applying the complex advanced HF definition broadly to populations.

Objectives

In this study, the authors sought to apply a validated advanced HF algorithm to a large U.S. administrative claims database and describe the population and use of advanced HF therapies.

Methods

This study included adults with advanced HF identified in the OptumLabs Data Warehouse from 2009 to 2019. The algorithm for advanced HF required 2 hospitalizations for HF plus 1 additional sign of advanced HF in a 12-month period. The association of baseline characteristics with mortality was examined with the use of Cox proportional hazards models. Associations of pa
