Unplanned Readmissions and Long-Term Mortality Risk After Incident Heart Failure Hospitalisation in Western Australia, 2001-2015.

This study underlines the high burden of recurrent unplanned cardiovascular and other readmissions within two years after incident HF hospitalisation, and their additive adverse impact on mortality. Integrated multidisciplinary management of concomitant comorbidities, in addition to HF-targeted treatments, is necessary to improve long-term prognosis in HF patients.
