Validity of the Seattle Heart Failure Model after heart failure hospitalization.
Abstract Aims Heart failure hospitalization is a sentinel event associated with increased mortality risk. Whether long‐term heart failure risk models such as the Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM) accurately assess risk in the post‐hospital setting is unknown. Methods and results The SHFM was applied to a cohort of 2242 consecutive patients (50% women; mean age 73) on discharge after acute heart failure hospitalization and analysed for the primary endpoint of all‐cause mortality. Model discrimination and calibration were assessed. Direct patient‐level comparison between our study cohort and the original SHFM cohorts was also performed to confirm and quantify the degree and extent of increas…
Head-to-head comparison of contemporary heart failure risk scores.
Altres ajuts: acords transformatius de la UAB Aims: Several heart failure (HF) web-based risk scores are currently used in clinical practice. Currently, we lack head-to-head comparison of the accuracy of risk scores. This study aimed to assess correlation and mortality prediction performance of Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC-HF) risk score, which includes clinical variables + medications; Seattle Heart Failure Model (SHFM), which includes clinical variables + treatments + analytes; PARADIGM Risk of Events and Death in the Contemporary Treatment of Heart Failure (PREDICT-HF) and Barcelona Bio-Heart Failure (BCN-Bio-HF) risk calculator, which also include biomarke…
