Logistic regression was used to determine the predictive significance of the KCCQ scores for 6\u2010month HF readmission. The selection of predictive parameters was performed using Stepwise Akaike Information Criterion (StepAIC).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Out of 180 patients, 52 (29%) were readmitted for HF within 6 months. The mean KCCQ score was higher in the non\u2010readmitted group (78.5) compared to the readmitted group (69.7, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0129). Multivariate analysis indicated a significant association between higher KCCQ scores (better health status) and lower HF readmission rates (adjusted OR\u2009=\u20090.929, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0255). The initial predictive model, using patient demographic data, had an AUC score of 0.64.
