Epidemiology of heart failure in young adults: a French nationwide cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Heart failure (HF) in young adults is uncommon, and changes in its incidence and prognosis in recent years are poorly described.

Methods and results

The incidence and prognosis of HF in young adults (1850 years) were characterized using nationwide medico-administrative data from the French National Hospitalization Database (period 20132018). A total of 1,486 877 patients hospitalized for incident HF were identified, including 70 075 (4.7) patients aged 1850 years (estimated incidence of 0.44 for this age group). During the study period, the overall incidence of HF tended to decrease in the overall population but significantly increased by 0.041 in young adults (P 0.001). This increase was notably observed among young men (from 0.51 to 0.59, P 0.001), particularly those
