BACKGROUND: Little is known about sex-related differences in factors affecting prognosis of heart failure (HF). We prospectively investigated the relationship between bedside clinical variables and survival of older females vs. males with HF.
METHODS: Included were consecutive unselected inpatients, age >/=60 years, admitted for various acute conditions. HF was chronic and of diverse etiologies. Follow-up extended up to 5 years. All-cause mortality was registered and statistically analyzed for association with in-hospital clinical variables.
RESULTS: Included were 162 females and 200 males. Survival rates were 52.4% and 59%, respectively, (P=0.1). Advanced age and renal dysfunction (RD) were associated with low survival in both sexes (P<0.03 and 0.02, P<0.001 and 0.01, respectively). An association with low survival was found with respect to; admission for pulmonary edema (P<0.02), using furosemide >/=80 mg/day (P<0.005) and severe HF [NYHA class III-IV (P<0.01)] in females, as well as for hypokalemia (P<0.03) and hypocalcemia (P<0.03) in males. On multivariate analysis RD (P<0.001), increasing age (P=0.008) and furosemide dosage >/=80 mg (P=0.02) were most significantly associated with low survival in females, while RD only was significantly associated with low survival in males (P=0.03).
CONCLUSIONS: Several clinical variables, which affect prognosis in older HF patients are sex-related and probably carry practical significance.
