Patient-reported behavioral, economic factors predict mortality after cardiac hospitalization
Patients who reported being unemployed, retired, or unable to work due to disability at discharge from a cardiovascular hospitalization were significantly more likely to die during three-year follow up, a single-center study found.

Modeling study predicted risk of hospitalization, death for heart failure patients
A model predicted one-year risk of hospitalization, ED visit/observation stay, or outpatient encounter for worsening heart failure as well as all-cause death by level of ejection fraction among patients with heart failure.

Providing clinicians with prognostic data did not affect heart failure care
Readmissions and mortality were not significantly different between hospitalized heart failure patients who received care as usual and those whose records displayed an alert containing predicted risk of one-year mortality.

Machine learning model identified predictors of in-hospital mortality on admission
While the model was accurate in retrospective and prospective validation cohorts at multiple hospitals, it is unknown whether these predictions will improve clinical or operational outcomes, study authors noted.

Admission lab values used to develop model to predict in-hospital mortality
Patients with abnormal total bicarbonate levels or leukocyte counts at admission were twice as likely to die during their hospital stay as patients with normal results, the retrospective study found.

CHA2DS2-VASc modestly predicts ischemic stroke, thromboembolism, death in heart failure patients
The observation that the risk factors included in the score are particularly significant among heart failure patients without atrial fibrillation is an important result, study authors said.
