Zusammenfassung:BackgroundIncreased length of stay (LOS) during acute heart failure (HF) hospitalization is associated with readmission and mortality.MethodsThe ESCAPE trial data were utilized to identify determinants and post-discharge outcomes of patients with acute systolic HF requiring longer-than-average LOS (≥7 days). The study endpoints were 6‑month all-cause mortality, all-cause rehospitalization, and the composite endpoint of death, cardiac rehospitalization, and cardiac transplant.ResultsAmong the 424 patients with recorded LOS, 216 (50.9%) and 208 (49.1%) had LOS ≥ or
