description | AIMS: The aim of this study is to characterize healthcare resource utilization and costs in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) following a worsening heart failure event. METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a retrospective observational cohort analysis. Patients with HFrEF were identified from the PINNACLE Registry and linked to a nationwide pharmacy and medical claims database. Worsening heart failure was defined as stable heart failure with a subsequent hospitalization and/or intravenous diuretic therapy. Healthcare resource use and costs in 2015 US dollars were analysed for dispensed prescriptions, outpatient encounters, and hospital encounters. Among 11 064 patients with HFrEF, 3087 (27.9%) experienced a worsening heart failure event during an average follow‐up of 973 days. During the first 30 days after the worsening event, 19.8% of patients had hospital readmissions with heart failure as the primary or secondary diagnosis. During that same time period, mean per patient heart failure‐related healthcare resource use included 1.3 prescriptions, 0.5 practitioner visits, and 0.5 hospital encounters (admissions, observations, or emergency care), for an average total medical cost of $8779 per patient including $5359 in heart failure‐related costs. During the first year following worsening heart failure onset, mean per patient total and heart failure‐related costs were $62 615 and $35 329, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The economic burden following a worsening heart failure event calls for further review of methods to prevent progressive disease, improve adherence to guideline‐directed therapy, and develop novel treatments and care strategies to moderate further progression. |
