Heart Failure and All-Cause Hospitalizations in Patients With Heart Failure: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Heart failure (HF) hospitalization is a common end point in HF trials; however, how HF hospitalization is associated with all-cause hospitalization in terms of proportionality, correlation of treatment effects, and concomitant reporting has not been studied.

Objective

To determine the ratio of HF to all-cause hospitalizations, whether reported treatment effects on HF hospitalization are associated with treatment effects on all-cause hospitalization, and how often all-cause hospitalization is reported alongside HF hospitalization.

Data sources

PubMed was searched from inception to September 2, 2024, for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of HF treatments using MeSH (medical subject heading) terms and keywords associated with heart failure, ventricular failure
