Abstract
Background
Most trials of patients hospitalized for heart failure focus on breathlessness (alveolar pulmonary oedema) but worsening peripheral oedema is also an important presentation. We investigated the relationship between the severity of peripheral oedema on admission and outcome amongst patients with a primary discharge death or diagnosis of heart failure.
Objectives
We tested the hypothesis that severity of peripheral oedema is associated with length of hospital stay and mortality.
Methods
Patient variables reported to the National Heart Failure Audit for England & Wales between April 2008 and March 2013 were included in this analysis. Peripheral oedema was classified as ‘none’, ‘mild’, ‘moderate’ or ‘severe’. Length of stay, mortality during the index admission and for up to three years after discharge are reported.
