The study explores how incorporating patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can enhance the prediction of hospitalization and mortality risks in patients with heart failure (HF).
The research involved 1165 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and 456 with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), utilizing advanced statistical methods to analyze risk over time.
Findings indicated that models including PROs significantly improved risk prediction, demonstrating their value alongside traditional clinical assessments in managing outpatient heart failure.

- Alfonso F Siu's recent research primarily focuses on the treatment and management of delirium in older adults, emphasizing the need for effective quality improvement initiatives in hospitalized populations.! - His study highlights the barriers faced by hospitals in implementing the Hospital Elder Life Program, which has been recognized as a leading model for delirium prevention but has seen limited adoption globally due to financial constraints.! - The findings suggest that overcoming administrative resistance to costs associated with delirium prevention programs is crucial for widening their implementation and ultimately improving outcomes for older patients at risk of delirium.!
