Prognoses of “high-profile” diseases: five-year survival following hospitalization with previous cancer compared to previous heart failure

Abstract Background The prognostic impact of heart failure relative to that “high-profile” disease states such as cancer within the whole population is poorly known. Some data reported 2 decades ago indicated was “malignant” many common types (with notable exception lung cancer) and associated with a comparable number expected life-years lost. Whether this also case in more recent years unknown. Methods In nationwide cohort study including 5,123,193 patients seen French hospitals 2012 at least 5 follow-up (or dying earlier), all first admission any hospital or were identified. We assessed incidence all-cause death during (2,523,627person-years). analysed outcome for most specific men women results then age-adjusted women. Results 2012, 409,210 had hospitalisation (n=164,601) (n=244,609). Similarly, 325,410 admitted (n=127,734), (n=197,676). Heart worse survival rate than urologic breast cancer, gynaecologic gastrointestinal (Figure 1). On an basis, except (see adjusted hazard ratios Table Cancer cancer. Conclusion may be However, it possible prognosis HF has improved compared last since only better analysis. Funding Acknowledgement Type funding sources: None.
