Appetite loss at discharge from acute decompensated heart failure: Observation from KCHF registry.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The complex link between nutritional status, protein and lipid synthesis, and immunity plays an important prognostic role in patients with heart failure. However, the association between appetite loss at discharge and long-term outcome remains unclear.

Methods

The Kyoto Congestive Heart Failure registry is a prospective cohort study that enrolled consecutive patients hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in Japan. We assessed 3528 patients alive at discharge, and for whom appetite and follow-up data were available. We compared one-year clinical outcomes in patients with and without appetite loss at discharge.

Results

In the multivariable logistic regression analysis using 19 clinical and laboratory factors with P value < 0.1 by univariate
