Heart failure types and predictors of 30-day rehospitalisation among patients aged ≥ 60 years with acute heart failure: a multicentre prospective study in Vietnam.

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
backgroundThe burden of heart failure (HF) is increasing due to global population ageing. However, there is limited information on the prevalence and adverse outcomes of different HF types among older patients with acute HF. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of HF types and identify predictors of 30-day rehospitalisation among patients aged ≥ 60 years with acute HF.
methodsThis multicentre prospective study included patients aged ≥ 60 years with acute HF. Patients were followed for 30 days post-discharge. Predictors of rehospitalisation for HF were analysed using Cox proportional hazards regression.
resultsOf the 277 patients (median age, 76 years [interquartile range, 67–82.5]; male, 46.2%), the prevalence of HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF), and HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was 49.5%, 20.5%, and 30.0%, respectively. During the 30-day follow-up, rehospitalisation for HF occurred in 42 patients (30.7%) in the HFrEF group, 12 patients (21.1%) in the HFmrEF group, and 12 patients (14.5%) in the HFpEF group (P = 0.02). Significant predictors of rehospitalisation for HF included pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ≥ 40 mmHg (hazard ratio [HR], 2.37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39–4.03; P = 0.002) and guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) (HR, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.25–0.97; P = 0.040).
conclusionsAmong patients aged ≥ 60 years with acute HF, HFrEF was the most prevalent type and had the highest incidence of 30-day rehospitalisation. Elevated PASP was associated with an increased risk of rehospitalisation, while GDMT was linked to a reduced risk.
