Geographic remoteness‐based differences in in‐hospital mortality among people admitted to <scp>NSW</scp> public hospitals with heart failure, 2002–21: a retrospective observational cohort study
In-hospital mortality during heart failure admissions to public hospitals declined across NSW during 2002-21. However, it was higher among people living in regional and remote areas than for people from metropolitan areas. The reasons for the difference in in-hospital mortality should be investigated.
