Association between the Length of Hospital Stay and 30-Day Outcomes in Patients Admitted with Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

Table 3

Crude and adjusted odds ratio of rehospitalization according to the length of hospital stay.

Variable	Models	Length of hospital stay
		<4 days (n = 100)	4–6 days (n = 151)	>6 days (n = 134)
Rehospitalization	Crude	1.00	1.09 (0.63–1.92)	1.42 (0.78–2.56)	0.749	0.250
	Adjusted	1.00	1.04 (0.57–1.88)	1.55 (0.82–2.95)	0.911	0.178

Binary Logistic Regression. Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, tachycardia, ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, kidney diseases, thyroid disorders, anemia, smoking status, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, sodium, potassium, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and before drug consumption (beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and diuretics). : value resulted from a comparison between hospital stay of <4 days vs. hospital stay of 4–6 days. : value resulted from a comparison between hospital stay of <4 days vs. hospital stay of >6 days.
