Pre-discharge anemia as a predictor of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

Conclusions: Pre-discharge anemia, rather than anemia at admission, was identified as an independent predictor of mortality in patients with ADHF after surviving discharge. The results of the present study suggest that the identification and optimal management of anemia during hospitalization are important in patients with ADHF.
