Magnitude of and Prognostic Factors Associated With 1‐Year Mortality After Hospital Discharge for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Based on Ejection Fraction Findings
BACKGROUND Limited data exist about the magnitude of and the factors associated with prognosis within 1 year for patients discharged from the hospital after acute decompensated heart failure. Data are particularly limited from the more generalizable perspective of a population-based investigation and should be further stratified according to currently recommended ejection fraction (EF) findings...

Background and Aim: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting time and experience of relapse in the patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma, using cure fraction. Material and Methods: This retrospective study included all the patients diagnosed as Hodgkin's lymphoma in the Center for oncology and hematology in Shafa Hospital in Ahwaz City from 2002 to 2012. We used survival analysis and cure f...
متن کاملSex differences in clinical characteristics and long-term outcome in acute decompensated heart failure patients with preserved and reduced ejection fraction.
In patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), sex differences considering clinical and pathophysiologic features are not fully understood. We investigated sex differences in left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF), plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, and prognostic factors in patients with ADHF in Japan. We studied 748 consecutive ADHF patients of 821 patients re...

Background & Aim: Intra-aortic ballon pump(IABP) is a mechanical device that has become an accepted treatment modality for patients with severely compromised hemodynamics. The present retrospective study was undertaken to identify the major survival and nonsurvival determinants of patients who were in need of intra-aortic ballon pump support after cardiac surgery. Patients & Methods: Th...
متن کاملVentricular conduction abnormalities as predictors of long‐term survival in acute de novo and decompensated chronic heart failure
AIMS Data on the prognostic role of left and right bundle branch blocks (LBBB and RBBB), and nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD; QRS ≥ 110 ms, no BBB) in acute heart failure (AHF) are controversial. Our aim was to investigate electrocardiographic predictors of long-term survival in patients with de novo AHF and acutely decompensated chronic heart failure (ADCHF). METHODS AND ...
