Heart failure & cardiomyopathies
Characteristics and Outcome of Hospitalized Patients with Heart Failure Stratified for Chronic Kidney Disease
Authors' conclusion
Within this HF inpatient cohort from a multicentric German database, CKD was diagnosed in more than half of the patients and was associated with increased in-hospital mortality at baseline and during follow-up. Rehospitalizations were observed earlier and more frequently in patients with HF and co-morbid CKD.
