Impact of COPD and asthma on in-hospital mortality and management of patients with heart failure in England and Wales: an observational analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association between having concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, and in-patient mortality and post-discharge management among patients hospitalised for acute heart failure (HF).

Setting

Data were obtained from patients enrolled in the National Heart Failure Audit.

Participants

217 329 patients hospitalised for HF in England-Wales between March 2012 and 2018.

Outcomes

In-hospital mortality, referrals to cardiology follow-up and prescriptions for HF medications were compared between patients with comorbid COPD (COPD-HF) or asthma (asthma-HF) versus HF-alone using mixed-effects logistic regression.

Results

Patients with COPD-HF were more likely to die during hospitalisation, and those with asthma-HF ha
