Risk of rehospitalization estimated for subjects enrolled in DOSE-AHF and CARRESS-HF who had measured biomarkers of RAAS activation. PRA was analyzed at baseline for subjects enrolled in DOSE-AHF and CARRESS-HF, and at 72 hr for subjects in DOSE-AHF or 96 hr for subjects in CARRESS-HF. Subjects are classified as high vs. low PRA based on race-specific median values. Models are adjusted for study, age, sex, history of hypertension, blood pressure, HF etiology, ejection fraction, BMI, eGFR, and baseline ACE-I/ARB and aldosterone antagonist use.
