[Repetitive hospitalizations of patients with chronic heart failure according to data of one year follow-up study].
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) represent a group with high risk of repetitive hospitalizations. In order to assess frequency of repetitive hospitalizations and elucidate their risk factors we included in this study 962 patients with stage IIA-III and functional class II-IV CHF hospitalized in a multiprofile hospital once or repeatedly during 1 year. Rate of rehospitalizations during 1 year was 59%. The following factors of risk of rehospitalizations were revealed: admission because of progression of CHF, history of myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, systolic left ventricular dysfunction, hyperuricemia, and hyperglycemia.
