Short-term Mortality Prediction by the SOFA Score in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Hanoi Heart Hospital216 enrolled

Overview

Data on the use of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) in patients with cardiovascular disease are increasing. Several studies demonstrated that the SOFA score can identify short-term mortality in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). This study was conducted to determine the prognostic value of the admission SOFA score in patients hospitalised for ADHF and to assess its ability in predicting the 30-day readmission rate.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mortality

The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was used to assess the relation to the all cause mortality of the patient with acute decompensated heart failure. Higher SOFA score is correlated with higher in-hospital mortality rate and 30-day mortality regardless of age, gender, or other comorbidities.

Time frame: Within 30 days from the day of hospitalization

Secondary Outcomes

Re-admission rate

To assess the prediction ability of the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score in regard of re-admission rate.

Time frame: Within 30 days
