Impact of immigration on outcomes following acute decompensated heart failure: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in ESC heart failure, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThe study aims to investigate the impact of immigration status on short- and long-term outcomes in patients hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study at a single centre, analysing 7457 patients admitted for ADHF between 2007 and 2017, with follow-up until 2020 (mean 3.7 ± 3.5 years). Patients were categorized as immigrants (born abroad, 78.1%) or natives (born in Israel, 21.9%). Outcomes included in-hospital mortality, 30 day readmissions, 30 day mortality, 1 year mortality and 5 year all-cause mortality. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, a nonparametric analysis, were used to estimate survival probabilities across multiple timeframes while multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses adjusted for key covariates such as age, sex and comorbidities. A stratified analysis compared outcomes between adulthood and early-life immigrants.
resultsImmigrants were older than natives (79.0 ± 10.1 vs. 70.8 ± 13.8 years, P < 0.001) and more likely to be female (53.2% vs. 45.0%, P < 0.001). Adjusted analyses revealed that immigration status was independently associated with higher 30 day [odds ration (OR) 1.37, 95% CI 1.12-1.67, P = 0.002], 1 year [hazard ratio (HR) 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-1.52, P < 0.001] and 5 year mortality (HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.12-1.29, P < 0.001). No significant associations were found for in-hospital mortality (OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.98-1.63, P = 0.07) or 30 day readmissions (OR 0.93, 95% CI 0.79-1.08, P = 0.31). Stratification by immigration age showed similar 5 year mortality between adulthood and early-life immigrants.
conclusionsImmigration status independently predicts worse short- and long-term outcomes in ADHF patients. The findings highlight the need for tailored healthcare policies to address disparities and improve outcomes in immigrant populations.
