Association of On-Admission Anemia With 1-Year Mortality in Patients Hospitalized With Acute Heart Failure: Results From the HERO Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anemia is common in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, data regarding the prognostic value of on-admission anemia on mortality in patients hospitalized with acute HF were relatively limited and conflicting. This study aimed to investigate the association of on-admission anemia with 1-year mortality and evaluate whether anemia is an independent predictor of mortality in patients hospitalized with acute HF.

Methods

The present analysis included 4,244 patients hospitalized with acute HF from the HERO (Heart Failure Registry of Patient Outcomes) study. On-admission anemia was defined using the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria (hemoglobin <120 g/L in women and <130 g/L in men). Cox proportional hazards mod
