Congestive Heart Failure Combined With High SDOH Burdens Significantly Increases Mortality Risks

Congestive heart failure (CHF) combined with high social determinants of health (SDOH) burdens significantly increases all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risks, according to a recent study of U.S. data. The researchers concluded that CHF and high SDOH burden are independently and jointly associated with increased mortality. They recommended addressing both clinical and social risk factors to reduce disparities and improve cardiovascular outcomes.;

Compared to people without heart failure and with good social conditions, those with CHF and high SDOH were 5.27 times more likely to die from heart-related problems and 3.47 times more likely to . . .
