Association Between the Emergency Heart Failure Mortality Risk Grade (EHMRG30-ST) and Costs of Care
Higher mortality risk as determined by the EHMRG30-ST score was associated with higher costs for up to 1 year after the initial ED presentation. Our study suggests that costs of care may be another potential dimension of the utility of prognostic risk scores.
