Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with heart failure frequently face the possibility of rehospitalization following an initial hospital stay, placing a significant burden on both patients and health care systems. Accurate predictive tools are crucial for guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing patient care. However, the effectiveness of existing models tailored specifically to the Chinese population is still limited.
