Summary

Background: Heart failure (HF) is in many cases the final way for coronary heart diseases. In older than 65 years is the most important cause of hospitalization. Many studies have analyzed the causes of decompensation and the possible causes of hospital re-admission but most evidences come from the hospital setting. Nevertheless, It is known that many of these patients are usually attended in primary care setting, being treated by their General Practitioner and are not referred to the hospital.

The determinants which condition whether stable HF patients will be hospitalized as a consequence of a decompensation remain still unclear.

Objective: To develop and validate a predictive model based on clinical variables easy to measure at primary care to predict short-term hospitalization or mortality in a cohort of patients attended in primary care setting as a consequence of a HF decompensation.

Methods: A cohort of patients with established HF attended in primary care setting (regular care or out of hours) as a consequence of an episode of HF decompensation will be follow up. To develop the predictive model we will select variables which previously have been found involved in the risk of hospitalization or mortality as a consequence of HF as well as other ones which could be relevant and have not been studied yet. Variables selected should be easily determined in primary care setting..

The predictive model obtained in the derivation cohort from Spain will be validated in an external (several European countries) validation cohort.

Relevance: Our study will help GP to identify HF patients at higher risk of hospitalization or death and manage them according to an accurate prognostic rule (escala pronostica) made in primary care setting.\[DISCUTIR\]
