Impact of ethnicity on long-term mortality following hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ethnic disparities in heart failure (HF) outcomes have been widely documented, but data from countries with universal healthcare systems, such as Israel, are limited. This study assessed whether long-term clinical outcomes differ between Jewish and non-Jewish patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).

Baseline characteristics, in-hospital treatments, discharge medications, and clinical outcomes were compared. The primary outcome was 5-year all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission, 30-day mortali
