“…Most available studies present the impact of age and gender on mortality using relative risks or hazard ratios, without providing stratified and detailed mortality risks for age and gender subgroups [6-8]. Some studies reported stratified mortality risks, but these were mostly limited to either age or gender [9-12].…”

BackgroundHospitalization for heart failure (HF) is associated with high-in-hospital and short- and long-term post discharge mortality. Age and gender are important predictors of mortality in hospitalized HF patients. However, studies assessing short- and long-term risk of death stratified by age and gender are scarce.MethodsA nationwide cohort was identified (ICD-9 codes 402, 428) and followed through linkage of national registries. The crude 28-day, 1-year and 5-year mortality was computed by age and gender. Cox regression models were used for each period to study sex differences adjusting for potential confounders (age and comorbidities).Results14,529 men, mean age 74 ± 11 years and 14,524 women, mean age 78 ± 11 years were identified. Mortality risk after admission for HF increased with age and the risk of death was higher among men than women. Hazard ratio's (men versus women and adjusted for age and co-morbidity) were 1.21 (95%CI 1.14 to 1.28), 1.26 (95% CI 1.21 to 1.31), and 1.28 (95%CI 1.24 to 1.31) for 28 days, 1 year and 5 years mortality, respectively.ConclusionsThis study clearly shows age- and gender differences in short- and long-term risk of death after first hospitalization for HF with men having higher short- and long-term risk of death than women. As our study population includes both men and women from all ages, the estimates we provide maybe a good reflection of 'daily practice' risk of death and therefore be valuable for clinicians and policymakers.

“…Less information is known about the long-term prognosis of patients discharged following hospitalization due to AHF. Published results are based on either a limited number of patients or limited follow-up times [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Randomized, controlled studies that follow AHF patients tend to evaluate selected patient cohorts.…”

“…3 In fact, only about 40% to 60% of heart failure patients survive 5 years after diagnosis. [4][5][6] Even with proper medical care, diminishing functional status can result in confinement physically (eg, through multiple hospitalizations or becoming increasingly homebound) or emotionally (eg, through progressing depression or social isolation).…”
