Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a predictive model for three-month mortality in patients with advanced heart failure, focusing on those with severe symptoms and recent hospitalizations.
- During the follow-up, 20.3% of the 271 patients died, with key risk factors identified as male gender, low body mass index, high potassium and NT-proBNP levels, and high dependence in daily living activities.
- The predictive model showed a decent accuracy, with a C-index of 0.78 when including NT-proBNP, indicating it can help healthcare providers better assess mortality risk in these patients.
