Length of Hospitalization-Related Differences and Associated Long-Term Prognosis of Patients with Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy: A Propensity Score-Matched Cohort.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies indicated that prolonged lengths of hospitalization (LOH) during cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) implantation are associated with poorer physical status and higher in-hospital mortality. However, evidence on the impact of LOH on the long-term prognosis of CRT patients is limited. The purpose of this study was to assess LOH-related prognostic differences in CRT patients. In the propensity score-matched cohort, patients with standard LOH (≤7 days, n = 172) were compared with those with prolonged LOH (>7 days, n = 172) for cardiac function and study outcomes during follow-up. The study outcomes were all-cause death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization. In addition, cardiac function and changes in cardiac function at the follow-up period were used for comparison. At
