Characteristics and outcomes of patients with cancer hospitalized with new onset acute heart failure.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Limited evidence exists regarding the outcomes of cancer patients hospitalized with new onset acute heart failure (AHF). We assessed the in-hospital mortality and 1 year outcomes of cancer patients admitted for new onset AHF, taking into account both past and active cancer status as well as cancer site.

Methods

We examined administrative data of adult patients hospitalized with a first episode of AHF from 2003 to 2018 in Lombardy, Italy. Patients were categorized based on their cancer history. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality with secondary endpoints including 1 year all-cause mortality and 1 year re-hospitalization for AHF.

Results

Among 283 144 patients AHF hospitalizations, 55 145 (19%) involved patients with a history of cancer (60% past cancer,
