What is Clinical risk factors for adverse outcomes in emergency department patients with acute decompensated heart failure: An ADHERE registry analysis about?
Study objectives: Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits, subsequent inpatient admission, and substantial inhospital morbidity. Although retrospective data analyses have suggested that several clinical variables that can be assessed while a patient is in the ED are associated with inpatient adverse events, emergency physicians have no standard method of risk stratification for patients with ADHF. Methods: ED data from 65,180 patients in the Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE) were analyzed. ADHERE is an observational registry of patients hospitalized with ADHF and in which more than 250 community, tertiary, and academic medical centers participate. Patients were included if they were admitted to an inpatient bed from the ED, had an initial systolic blood pressure of greater than 90 mm Hg, and did not have positive cardiac markers. Adverse events were defined as any 1 or more of the following: inpatient death, procedure (coronary artery bypass graft surgery, percutaneous coronary intervention, new dialysis, intra-aortic balloon catheter, cardiac transplantation, cardioversion, defibrillation, cardiopul
