Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences1,983 enrolled

Overview

This prospective validation study evaluates the ability of a risk algorithm, which can simultaneously predict the risk of death at 7 days and 30 days for patients with acute heart failure presenting to the emergency department. The risk algorithms for prediction of 7-day (Emergency Heart failure Mortality Risk Grade \[EHMRG\]) and 30-day mortality (EHMRG30-ST) have been previously derived.
