ABSTRACT: Background
Heart Failure (HF) quality of care (QoC) is associated with clinical outcomes. Therefore, we investigated differences in HF QoC across worldwide regions (with differing national income) and the association of quality indicators with outcomes.Methods
We examined the quality of care (QoC) in acute heart failure (HF) patients across different regions using quality indicators (QIs) from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to evaluate QoC. The analysis included 17,632 patients enrolled from 358 medical centres in 44 countries between 23 July 2014 and 24 March 2017, all part of the prospective REPORT-HF cohort study. We investigated how QoC varied by region and its relationship with mortality rates at 30 days and 1 year aft
