Purpose: As HF progresses into advanced HF, patients experience a poor quality of life, distressing symptoms, intensive care use, social distress, and eventual hospital death. We aimed to investigate the relationship between morality and potential prognostic factors among in-patient and emergency patients with HF.
Patients And Methods: A case series study: Data are collected from in-hospital and emergency care patients from 2014 to 2021, including their international classification of disease at admission, and laboratory data such as blood count, liver and renal functions, lipid profile, and other biochemistry from the hospital's electrical medical records.

This study explores the relationship between Financial Technology (Fintech) and ecological sustainability, addressing a critical gap in the literature where prior research has primarily focused on the economic and societal impacts of fintech, overlooking its potential environmental benefits. Specifically, the study investigates whether fintech adoption in urban areas contributes to ecological sustainability, offering insights into how fintech can be leveraged to promote sustainable urban development and support global environmental goals. Utilizing a comprehensive panel dataset covering all BRICS nations from 2000 to 2022, the study employs advanced econometric techniques, including second-generation unit root tests, the Westerlund cointegration approach, and the Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR).

Using recently available data on green finance from the International Monetary Fund, we analyze the impact of digital transformation on green bond issuance in forty-six countries during 1991-2021 within the context of environmental finance management. To measure digital transformation, we utilize the Digital Adoption Index provided by the World Bank and its subcomponents, aligning this analysis with broader environmental finance management strategies. Additionally, we control for the effect of various environmental, economic, and technological factors.

This paper conducted an in-depth study to elucidate the impact of corporate intelligence transformation and regional financial technology on green economic growth, particularly the role of credit resource allocation. We developed a multi-sector general equilibrium model, integrating the heterogeneity of intelligent transformation in production sectors and accounting for the influence of Fintech on financial institutions. Within this model framework, panel data from 2011 to 2021 at the provincial, municipal, and micro-enterprise levels in China were used to validate the theoretical model through a mixed regression approach.
