  In-Hospital Mortality in Acute Heart Failure: Predicted ADHERE Risk vs. Observed Mortality
  Author(s): Irene Marques*, Manuela V. Bertão, Denisa Mendonça and Laetitia Teixeira
  
  Background: Acute heart failure in-hospital mortality varies between 3.8-28%. The Acute Decompensated Heart Failure National Registry (ADHERE) risk tree is a landmark risk prediction model for in-hospital mortality. This study compares in-hospital mortality predicted by the ADHERE risk tree with the observed mortality of patients from the Pre Heart Failure Clinic (PRECIC-Pré Clínica de Insuficiência Cardíaca) study. Methods and findings: This is a retrospective, single-centre, observational sub-analysis of the previously reported PRECIC study. The ADHERE risk tree was applied. In-hospital predicted and observed mortality was compared in 419 patients with a mean age of 79.5 years. The majority were female and had left ventricle ejection fraction ≥ 40%. In-hospital mortality was 8.1% (n=34). After being classified.. View More»
