Summary: The number of hospitalizations for heart failure in the United States is increasing, with a decrease in the median age of patients. The demographics of heart failure patients are becoming more diverse, and hospital costs have decreased, while the mortality rates have improved or remained stable.

Summary: The increasing hospitalization rate in adults with congenital heart disease is mainly due to the rising prevalence of heart failure, which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Other contributing factors include mild lesions, comorbidities, and pregnancies.

Summary: This study analyzed the influence of social deprivation on heart failure hospitalizations in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The results showed that social deprivation was positively associated with heart failure hospitalization rates, with a greater impact in Black patients. Strategies to reduce social disparity and equalize racial differences may help to bridge this gap.

Summary: This study found that hospitalizations for heart failure among young adults have increased in recent years. Black patients and those from low-income areas account for a large proportion. However, in-hospital mortality has decreased, while length of stay remains stable and medical costs have increased. There are significant racial disparities in hospitalization rates.

Summary: This study analyzed nationwide HF hospitalizations in the United States from 2002 to 2014, focusing on cases associated with methamphetamine abuse. The results showed a significant increase in MethHF hospitalizations during this period, particularly on the West Coast. Patients with MethHF were found to be younger, more likely to use Medicaid, and more likely to seek care at urban hospitals compared to non-methamphetamine associated HF patients.

Summary: This study in Yancheng, China explored the associations between PM2.5 and HF hospitalizations, finding a 1.28% increase in HF for every 10-mu g/m(3) increase of PM2.5 on lag 0 day. The PM2.5-HF associations were positive in females, patients aged >= 65 years, and in the cold season.

Summary: A study in Hong Kong found that younger adults have a higher risk of hospitalization for heart failure after influenza infection, with the 18-44 age group having the highest risk. Further research is needed to confirm this elevated risk in the younger age group.

Summary: This study evaluated the characteristics, trends, and outcomes of stimulant-related heart failure (HF) hospitalizations in the United States. It found an increasing trend in the number of stimulant-related HF hospitalizations, with higher incidence of complications compared to non-stimulant-related HF hospitalizations.

Summary: Hemodynamic-guided heart failure management is an effective strategy to prevent hospitalization and preserve renal function across severities of comorbid renal insufficiency. This strategy involves remotely obtaining pulmonary artery pressures to guide treatment.

Summary: Heart Failure (HF) patients with COVID-19 have a higher rate of in-hospital mortality, cardiac arrest, and pulmonary embolism compared to HF patients without COVID-19. COVID-19 is an independent predictor of mortality during hospitalizations for HF. Increasing age, arrythmias, and chronic kidney disease are also independent predictors of mortality in HF patients with COVID-19. COVID-19 is associated with increased in-hospital mortality, longer hospital stays, higher cost of hospitalization, and increased risk of adverse outcomes in patients admitted with HF.

Summary: Iron deficiency is common in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, and it is associated with a poor prognosis. The effect of intravenous iron replacement on recurrent heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality in these patients is uncertain. This study used a Bayesian analysis to provide precise estimates of the effect of intravenous iron replacement and found that it significantly reduced the rates of recurrent heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: The study found that hospitalization rates for acute heart failure decreased overall from 2002 to 2016, except for the 18-44 age group. In-hospital mortality rates also decreased across all age groups, but not significantly for the 18-34 age group. Compared to the 18-34 age group, 30-day HF-related readmissions were significantly lower in older age groups.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccination is associated with a significant reduction in hospitalization rates and mortality rates in patients with heart failure, providing further evidence for the importance of vaccination implementation in this high-risk population.

Summary: A study using data from the National Inpatient Sample in the United States found that certain neurologic diseases exhibit seasonal variation in hospitalization rates. Six diseases showed statistically significant seasonality according to multiple testing methods, while four diseases showed seasonality according to some testing methods. This study highlights the importance of considering seasonality in understanding neurologic diseases.
