557 adult patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of heart failure between January 2020 and December…
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
30 days
Key result
A prior history of heart failure hospitalization was independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day unplanned all-cause readmission (adjusted OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.0-3.8; p=0.04).

Identifies 30-day HF readmission predictors in LMIC; extends high-income data but leaves open validation and intervention trials.

In a low- and middle-income country setting, nearly one-third of patients hospitalized for heart failure experienced 30-day readmission, with prior heart failure hospitalization being the only independent clinical predictor.
Jitender et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=557). Prior history of heart failure hospitalization vs. No prior history of heart failure hospitalization was evaluated on Unplanned all-cause readmission within 30 days of discharge (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.0-3.8, p=0.04). A prior history of heart failure hospitalization was independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day unplanned all-cause readmission (adjusted OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.0-3.8; p=0.04).
