Table 3 Cox proportional hazard models for readmission due to heart failure, all-cause mortality, and the composite endpoint (hazard ratio for the control group compared to the intervention group)

From: The impact of a heart failure management protocol based on a hospital-community pharmacist collaboration

 

Unadjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)

Fully adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)

HF Readmission

  

 During 270 days

0.29 (0.08–1.01); p = 0.052

0.16 (0.04–0.73); p = 0.018

 During 360 days

0.39 (0.14–1.05); p = 0.064

0.28 (0.09–0.89); p = 0.031

All-cause mortality

  

 During 360 days

0.31 (0.05–2.63); p = 0.28

 

Composite end-point

  

During 270 days

0.26 (0.08–0.90); p = 0.033

0.17 (0.04–0.78); p = 0.023

 During 360 days

0.37 (0.14–0.98); p = 0.046

0.31 (0.10–0.98); p = 0.047

  1. The composite endpoint was a composite of the following events: readmission due to heart failure, all-cause mortality, hospitalization due to renal dysfunction or dehydration, and initiation of dialysis
