Analysis reveals ALBI, MELD-Alb, and FIB-5 scores predict in-hospital mortality in acute heart failure patients, indicating risk stratification is essential.
Key Points
The ALBI score shows the highest predictive accuracy for in-hospital mortality among acute heart failure patients, suggesting it is a valuable tool.
During a median hospitalization of 9 days, 36 out of 107 patients (about 34%) died, emphasizing the serious risk of in-hospital mortality in acute heart failure.
Patients' liver dysfunction indices were calculated and analyzed using logistic regression, showing significant results for the ALBI, MELD-Alb, and FIB-5 scores.
Combining the ALBI score and GWTG-HF risk score provided even better prognostic accuracy, underscoring the potential for improved patient management.
