ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Patients with heart failure (HF) often suffer from hepato-renal dysfunction. The associations between hepato-renal function changes and mortality remain unclear. Further, the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on mortality and motor functions in patients with HF and hepato-renal dysfunction requires investigation.METHODS:
We reviewed 2522 patients with HF (63.2â¯% male; median age 74â¯years). The association between changes in hepato-renal function assessed by the Model for End-stage Liver Disease eXcluding INR (MELD-XI) score and mortality was examined. The association of CR participation with mortality and physical functions was investigated in patients with HF with decreased, unchanged, and increased MELD-XI scores.RESULTS:
During the follow-up period, 519 (20.6â¯%) patients died. Worsened MELD-XI score was independently associated with all-cause death [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 1.099; 95â¯% confidence interval (CI) 1.061-1.138; pâ¯<â¯0.001]. CR participation was associated with low mortality, even in the increased MELD-XI score group (aHR 0.498; 95â¯% CI 0.333-0.745; pâ¯<â¯0.001). Trajectory of the MELD-XI score was not associated with physical function changes. There were no time by MELD-XI score interaction effects on handgrip strength (pâ¯=â¯0.084), leg strength (pâ¯=â¯0.082), walking speed (pâ¯=â¯0.583), and 6-min walking distance (pâ¯=â¯0.833) in patients participating in outpatient CR.CONCLUSIONS:
Hepato-renal dysfunction predicts high mortality. CR participation may be helpful for a better prognosis of patients with HF and hepato-renal dysfunction.
