Comorbidities in heart failure patients that predict cardiovascular readmissions within 100 days-An observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heart failure (HF) commonly arises as a complication to cardiovascular diseases and is closely associated with various comorbidities. The impacts of these comorbidities in patients with HF are diverse. We aimed to analyze the increased risk for cardiovascular-related readmission within 100 days after discharge in patients with HF depending on their different comorbidities.

Methods

A population-based retrospective study was conducted in Region Halland with 5029 patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of HF during 2017-2019. The occurrence and number of comorbidities were recorded. Competing risk regression was employed to analyze the hazard ratio (HR) of 10 comorbidities for cardiovascular-related readmission within 100 days after discharge. A composite meas
