Background— Effective risk stratification can inform clinical decision-making. Our objective was to derive and validate a score for in-hospital mortality in patients hospitalized with heart failure using American Heart Association Get With the Guidelines–Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) program data. Methods Results— A cohort of 39 783 admitted January 1, 2005, June 26, 2007, 198 hospitals participating GWTG-HF divided into derivation (70%, n=27 850) validation (30%, n=11 933) samples. Multivariable...
ContextLittle is known about the effects of low health literacy among patients with heart failure, a condition that requires self-management and frequent interactions care system.Objective To evaluate association between all-cause mortality hospitalization outpatients failure.Design, Setting, Patients Retrospective cohort study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Colorado, an integrated managed organization.Outpatients failure were identified January 2001 May 2008, surveyed by mail, underwent...
Importance Clinical guidelines for patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) strongly recommend treatment a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) to reduce cardiovascular mortality or HF hospitalization. Nationwide adoption of SGLT2i HFrEF in the US is unknown. Objective To characterize patterns use among eligible hospitalized HFrEF. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study analyzed 49 399 across 489 sites Get With The Guidelines–Heart...
Background: Despite the importance of blood pressure (BP) control in secondary prevention, a significant proportion patients with coronary disease have uncontrolled BP.Methods: This retrospective cohort study (N = 10 447) evaluated impact medication nonadherence and therapy intensification on reaching target BP goals.Medication adherence was calculated as days covered for filled prescriptions antihypertensive medications.Therapy included dosage increase or number medications.The primary...
Major gaps exist in the routine initiation and dose up-titration of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) for patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction. Without novel approaches to improve prescribing, cumulative benefits fraction treatment will be largely unrealized. Direct-to-consumer marketing shared decision making reflect a culture where are increasingly involved choices, creating opportunities prescribing interventions that engage patients. The EPIC-HF (Electronically...
