The role of multimorbidity in patients with heart failure across the left ventricular ejection fraction spectrum: data from the Swedish Heart Failure Registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

The highest risk was associated with dementia (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.45-1.65), 1.65), chronic kidney disease (HR 1.37, 95%CI 1.34-1.41), 1.41), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR 1.32, 95%CI 1.28-1.35). Obesity was associated with a lower risk of all-cause death (HR 0.81, 95%CI 0.79-0.84).
