Abstract
Background: There is evidence that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)-related hospitalizations are increasing in the United States. However, there is a lack of knowledge about HFpEF-related hospitalizations among younger adults.
Objective: The aims of this study were to perform a retrospective analysis using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample and to examine age-stratified sex differences in the prevalence, correlates, and outcomes of HFpEF-related hospitalization across the adult life span.
Method: Using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2002-2014), patient and hospital characteristics were determined. Joinpoint regression was used to describe age-stratified sex differences in the annual average percent change of hospitalizations with HFpEF. Survey logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios representing the association of sex with HFpEF-related hospitalization and in-hospital mortality.
Results: There were 8 599 717 HFpEF-related hospitalizations (2.43% of all hospitalizations). Women represented the majority (5 459 422 [63.48%]) of HFpEF-related adult hospitalizations, compared with men (3 140 295 [36.52%]). Compared with men younger than 50 years, women within the same age group were 6% to 28% less likely to experience HFpEF-related hospitalization. Comorbidities such as hypertensive heart disease, renal disease, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, obesity, anemia, and pulmonary edema explained a greater proportion of the risk of HFpEF-related hospitalization in adults younger than 50 years than in adults 50 years or older.
Conclusion: Before the age of 50 years, women exhibit lower HFpEF-related hospitalization than men, a pattern that reverses with advancing age. Understanding and addressing the factors contributing to these sex-specific differences can have several potential implications for improving women's cardiovascular health.
