Risk factors for in-hospital mortality in acute heart failure, a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identifying clinical predictors of in-hospital death may help optimize risk stratification and management in emergency settings.

Objective

To evaluate in-hospital mortality and its associated risk factors among patients hospitalized with AHF in a tertiary hospital in Colombia, and to develop a mortality prediction score.

Methods

A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted including all patients diagnosed with AHF admitted between January 2022 and December 2023. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from electronic medical records. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of in-hospital mortality. A point-based risk score was
