Derivation and Validation of an In‐Hospital Mortality Prediction Model Suitable for Profiling Hospital Performance in Heart Failure

Abstract: BackgroundComparing heart failure (HF) outcomes across hospitals requires adequate risk adjustment. We aimed to develop and validate a model that can be used to compare quality of HF care across hospitals.Methods and ResultsWe included patients with HF aged ≥18 years admitted to one of 433 hospitals that participated in the Premier Inc Data Warehouse. This model (Premier) contained patient demographics, comorbidities, and acute conditions present on admission, derived from administrative and billing records. I… Show more

“…9 In-hospital mortality rates in previously published studies investigating non-electively hospitalized HF populations range from 4.0-8.0% with a decrease during the last years. 24,[36][37][38][39][40] When comparing the baseline characteristics, our cohort showed a remarkably high prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease, which explains the relatively high event rate. 38,40 In line with our findings, higher age and NYHA class were found as predictors of fatal outcome.…”

“…Using administrative billing data, we previously developed a model 16,17 that is similar to the heart failure model developed by Krumholz et al for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 18 We developed this model using data from the cost-accounting systems of 433 hospitals that participated in the Premier, Inc. Data Warehouse (PDW, a voluntary, fee-supported database) between January 1, 2009, and June 30, 2011.…”

“…There were only two comparable prediction models focusing on administrative data only, which reported lower AUC values (0.72-0.78). 22,23 A direct juxtaposition with our model is, however, hindered due to a different set of included variables. Our data set does not contain information on ethnicity, insurance data, used medication, and other variables being implemented into the mentioned models.…”
