Central Illustration. Impact of cumulative number of comorbidities on all-cause mortality or all-hospitalization.

Central Illustration.

Patients with chronic stable HFrEF who had a greater number of cumulative comorbidities had greater risk of adverse clinical outcomes with 9% greater risk per comorbidity. Displayed are Kaplan-Meier event curves for the primary outcome of all-cause mortality or all-cause hospitalization categorized by number of comorbidities. Patients were split into 0–1 (n=385), 2–3 (n=969), and 4–8 (n=713) comorbidities.
