Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how well the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) predicts one-year mortality in patients with systolic heart failure in Pakistan, conducted at a heart institute from March 2011 to March 2012.
- - A cohort of 118 patients was analyzed, with metrics such as age, gender, ejection fraction, and brain natriuretic peptide levels recorded, leading to a notable sensitivity of 89.3% and specificity of 71.1%.
- - The results indicated that SHFM is a reliable tool for predicting one-year mortality in this specific population, achieving an accuracy of 75.4% in the study with significant statistical findings.
