In our validation study, we demonstrate that the simple LE index can predict 30d mortality using only length of stay and # of prior ED visits, with better performance than traditional risk scores. Many thanks to @hvanspall and the team!

[Harriette Van Spall, MD MPH 🇨🇦 @hvanspall]

You can predict 30d ☠️ following #HF #hospitalization w just 2 variables

- Length of 🏥stay
- n of ED visits in prior 6 mo

In an external validation study (n 1206) our simple #LE index performed better than complex #risk scores

Each point: ~2x odds of☠️

In our 5 year sex disaggregated analysis of the #PACTHF trial:
🔴 no sex differences in clinical outcomes, total costs
🔴 high event rates - 65% ☠️, 85% 🏥
🔴⬆️ costs from specialist visits in ♂️, ⬆️ costs from supportive care in ♀️
Many thanks to @hvanspall and the whole team!!

[Harriette Van Spall, MD MPH 🇨🇦 @hvanspall]

In pragmatic #RCT of 4441 ppl post #HF #hospitalization

5y #prognosis‼️
65%☠️
85% 🏥 (avg 3 rehosps pp)

#EventRates highest in yr 1

Annual #cost $80.5 K pp, largely from 🏥s

No sex differences in event rates & total $, but less specialist care in 👩🏼‍🦳

Much thanks to @hvanspall and @KStelkia for making this possible!

[Tauben Averbuch MD @TaubenA]

Our #globalrounds on #CVD care in 🇨🇦 was published in #Circulation
🔑 takeaways:
🔴 universal Healthcare
🔴 high-quality care
🔴 outcomes, wait times comparable to high-income countries
🔴 geography limits delivery of care
🔴 national reporting needed

🎙️NEW #HeartFailure2024 #LBCT Discussion 💫Dr @hvanspall & Dr @TaubenA discuss the findings from the PACT-HF trial.

📽️Watch here👉 https://t.co/WWuXjMsA90

📊Clinical outcomes and overall costs following hospitalisation for #HF were similar between male and female patients at 5y, although the distribution of costs differed.

@DrRaniKhatib Thank you!

[Tauben Averbuch MD @TaubenA]

Incredibly grateful to @hvanspall to present #PACTHF 5yr update at #HeartFailure2024
🔑 findings:
🔴 5 year ☠ = 65% in ♂️ and ♀️ patients
🔴 💲were high, and driven by readmission
🔴 🚫 sex differences in outcomes/costs, but ⬆️ specialist care in ♂️, ⬆️ supportive care in ♀️

[Novi Yanti Sari @slumberbell]

How do gender differences impact clinical outcomes and healthcare resource use after #HF hospitalization?

#PACTHF registries #LBCT:
📍 64% mortality, 🧔‍♂️=👩‍🦳
📍 Higher costs for 🧔‍♂️ in specialist and invasive care; more home & long-term care for 👩‍🦳
