Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) are well-known prognostic factors in heart failure (HF). Aims: Our objective was to assess the value of the combination of admission SBP and HR to estimate 1-year mortality risks in elderly patients admitted due to a first episode of acute HF (AHF). Methods: During a 36-month period, we retrospectively reviewed 901 consecutive patients aged ≥ 75 admitted because of a first episode of AHF. According to admission SBP–HR combinations, three groups were defined: “low-risk” (HR < 70 bpm and SBP ≥ 140 mmHg), “moderate-risk” (HR < 70 bpm and SBP < 140 mmHg or HR ≥ 70 bmp and SBP ≥ 120 mmHg), and “high-risk” (HR ≥ 70 bpm and SBP < 120 mmHg). We analyzed all-cause mortality using Cox mortality analysis. Results: One-year mortality ranged from 16.5% for patients in the low-risk group to 50% for those in the high-risk group (p < 0.0001). Multivariate Cox regression for 1-year mortality showed hazard risk (HzR) ratios, compared to that (HzR 1) of the low-risk reference group, of 1.759 (95% CI 1.035–2.988, p = 0.037) for moderate-risk, and 3.171 (95% CI 1.799–5.589, p = 0.0001) for high-risk group. Prior use of a high number of chronic therapies (HzR 1.045), lower admission diastolic BP (HzR 0.986) and higher admission serum potassium values (HzR 1.534) were also significantly associated with mortality. Conclusion: In elderly population firstly hospitalized due to AHF, the simple combined admission measurement of SBP and HR predicts higher risk for 1-year all-cause mortality.
