Social Determinants of Health in Women With Heart Failure: Prospective Observational Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The social determinants of health (SDoH) account for 80%-90% of modifiable contributors to health outcomes for chronic diseases such as heart failure. Knowledge gaps exist on how SDoH influences hospitalization rates in women with heart failure. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between the baseline SDoH status of women with heart failure with subsequent all-cause and cardiovascular hospitalization.

Methods

This is a prospective observational longitudinal cohort study of women diagnosed with heart failure with 6-month follow-up. The subjects completed SDoH assessment by the Institute of Medicine. Monthly follow-ups were performed to assess for hospitalization events.

Results

A total of 92 patients with at least 1 follow-up clinic visit were included.
