Prognostic value of clinical judgment versus the ELAN-HF and BCN-Bio-HF risk scores after hospitalization for acute heart failure. Revista Clínica Española (English Edition), 226(2), 502451. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rceng.2026.5024512254-8874https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16946Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition, particularly among the elderly, and is associated with high rates of readmission and mortality. To improve prognosis, risk assessment tools such as ELAN-HF and BCN-Bio-HF have been developed to estimate mortality after a hospitalization for HF. However, in clinical practice, risk evaluation is often based on the physician’s subjective perception. This study aims to compare that perception with the mortality predictions generated by these tools.spaInsuficiencia cardiacaMedición de riesgoEstudio observacionalPrognostic value of clinical judgment versus the ELAN-HF and BCN-Bio-HF risk scores after hospitalization for acute heart failure.Valor pronóstico de la impresión clínica frente a las escalas ELAN-HF y BCN-Bio-HF tras un ingreso por insuficiencia cardíaca agudajournal article10.1016/j.rceng.2026.502451embargoed accessEnfermedad cardiovascularMedicina preventivaInvestigación médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
