Decreasing one-year mortality and hospitalization rates for heart failure in Sweden Data from the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry 1988 to 2000

Abstract: The decrease in incidence and improved prognosis after a first hospitalization for heart failure coincides with the establishment of ACE-inhibitor therapy, the introduction of beta-blockers for treatment of heart failure, home-care programmes for heart failure, and more effective treatment and prevention of underlying diseases. Notwithstanding, despite considerable improvement, 1-year mortality after a first hospitalization for heart failure is still high.

“…However, the incidence of CHF seems to be decreasing or plateauing out and the prognosis has improved particularly among patients < 60 years during the past decade (Stewart et al, 2001;Schaufelberger et al, 2004). Improved treatment of coronary heart diseases and hypertension, the major causes of CHF in industrial developed countries, may be the reason for reduced incidence while improved pharmacological treatment of heart failure within the past 15 years has improved prognosis (Stewart et al, 2001;Schaufelberger et al, 2004). …”

“…Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome with high mortality and morbidity, and a poor prognosis [1][2][3]. However, over the past two decades there has been a substantial reduction in mortality, probably due to more widespread use of renin-angiotensin aldosteron (RAAS) and beta-receptor blocking agents [2,4,5].…”

“…7,33,50,56,57 In an analysis of over 6.5 million heart failure hospitalizations in the USA, the unadjusted in-hospital death rate fell from 8.5% in 1993 to 4 Long-term survival rates Despite some ongoing improvement, long-term survival of patients after an episode of acute heart failure also remains poor, with reported 5-year death rates of around 70% (Figure 1.4). 3 62 5-year death rate was still about 65% at the end of this period.…”
