Predicting 1-year heart failure hospitalization and mortality post-discharge from the intensive cardiac care unit.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Despite the high risk of rehospitalization for heart failure (HF) and death among patients admitted to the intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU), no accurate prediction score for these outcomes exists. We aimed to develop a risk score to predict unplanned HF hospitalization and death 1-year post-discharge in an unselected cohort of patients admitted to the ICCU.

Methods

Based on a national, multicentre study, we included all consecutive patients admitted to the ICCUs in 39 French centres from 7 to 22 April 2021. We randomly selected a training cohort of 21 centres (n = 1008) to develop the ICCU-HF score and a validation cohort of eight other centres (n = 463). The primary composite outcome was unplanned hospitalization for HF and cardiovascular death at 1-year follow-up af
