Clinical factors useful to identify heart failure patients with high risk of death

reased risk of death), dementia (2.5 times increased risk of death), and cancer (nearly two times increased risk of death).

A risk index stratified the risk of death and identified low- and high-risk individuals. Patients with very low risk scores (60 or less) had a death rate of 0.4 percent at 30 days and 7.8 percent at 1 year. Patients with very high risk scores (greater than 150) had a mortality rate of 59.0 percent at 30 days and 78.8 percent at 1 year. Patients with higher 1-year risk scores had reduced survival at all times up to 1 year.

"The risk index provides estimates of risk that may assist clinicians in counseling patients and families and guides clinical decision making," the researchers conclude.
