Mean number of all-causes hospitalizations and HF events per patient according to LVEF. (A) Mean number of all-cause hospitalizations, (B) HF hospitalizations, and (C) urgent HF visits during the one year before and one year after GEstIC admission in patients with LVEF ≤40% and >40%. (D) Mean number of all-cause hospitalizations, (E) HF hospitalizations, and (F) urgent HF visits during the one year before and one year after GEstIC admission in patients with LVEF <50% and ≥50%. p-values for the variation within each LVEF group were determined using the Wilcoxon signed rank test with continuity correction for paired samples; p-values for the comparison of the variation between LVEF groups were determined using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test with continuity correction (Mann-Whitney) for independent samples.
