BUN-albumin ratio as a prognostic marker in decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
Our data show that an elevated BAR on admission is associated with increased in-hospital mortality and LOS > 30 days in patients hospitalized for D-HFrEF. This readily available marker can aid in identifying patients at higher risk for adverse events. Prospective studies are needed to validate our findings.
