Abstract
Objective: To evaluate rehospitalization rates and identify modifiable risk factors in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients enrolled in an optimal management and treatment program.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study with longitudinal follow-up was conducted on 163 patients diagnosed with CHF patients (Framingham criteria) at an international hospital model in Vietnam from January 2022 to November 2023. Clinical, behavioral, and comorbid factors were analyzed over 6 months.
Results: The program demonstrated high efficacy with a low 6-month rehospitalization rate of 9.82%. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between rehospitalization and male gender (p<0.01), alcohol consumption (p<0.05), smoking (p<0.05), elevated heart rate (p<0.001), and NYHA functional class (p<0.05). Key comorbidities including coronary heart disease (p<0.01), sinus tachycardia (p < 0.001), atrial fibrillation (p<0.01), and sleep disorders were also significantly associated with readmission (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Optimizing CHF outcomes requires a comprehensive intervention strategy targeting both modifiable lifestyle factors and underlying clinical comorbidities like sleep disorders.
