Figure 2. Kaplan–Meier analyses of FEUN at discharge for post‐discharge all‐cause mortality and readmission for worsening HF.

Kaplan‐Meier survival curves show time to all‐cause death (A) and HF readmission (B) in the FEUN<35% and FEUN equal to or greater than 35% groups. The log‐rank test demonstrated that the FEUN<35% group had a significantly higher rate of all‐cause death compared to the FEUN equal to or greater than 35% group (log‐rank test, P<0.001), with a HR, 1.747; 95% CI, 1.288–2.369. Furthermore, the FEUN<35% group had a strong trend toward a higher risk of HF readmission (log‐rank test, P=0.073), with a HR, 1.383; 95% CI, 0.967–1.977. FEUN indicates fractional excretion of urea nitrogen; and HF, heart failure.
