Risk Stratification for In-Hospital Mortality in Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure<SUBTITLE>Classification and Regression Tree Analysis</SUBTITLE>

Abstract

These results suggest that ADHF patients at low, intermediate, and high risk for in-hospital mortality can be easily identified using vital sign and laboratory data obtained on hospital admission. The ADHERE risk tree provides clinicians with a validated, practical bedside tool for mortality risk stratification.
