Cognitive impairment associated with increased mortality rate in patients with heart failure: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent systematic review and meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of cognitive impairment was significantly increased in patients with heart failure (HF) when compared to the general population. However, the effect of cognitive impairment on cardiovascular outcome in this population is still unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether cognitive impairment associated with worse outcome in patients with HF.

Methods

We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to October 2018. Included studies were published cohort (prospective or retrospective) or randomized control trials that evaluate the effect of cognitive impairment mortality in HF patients. Data from each study were combined using the rand
