This study aimed to identify phenotypically distinct subgroups of patients with advanced HF using unsupervised cluster analysis based on the variables included in these criteria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">A multicenter registry was used to identify patients hospitalized with HF who met at least 1 I NEED HELP criterion.

Latent class analysis identified 3 phenotypes: more de novo HF with the lowest number of applicable criteria (phenotype 1, 31%); younger age with the lowest left ventricular ejection fraction and highest number of applicable criteria (phenotype 2, 19%); and older age with more comorbidities and poorer renal function (phenotype 3, 49%). After multivariable adjustment, phenotypes 2 and 3 were associated with a higher incidence of composite all\u2010cause death or rehospitalization for HF (phenotype 2: hazard ratio [HR], 1.96 [95% CI, 1.58\u20132.42]; phenotype 3: HR, 1.54 [95% CI, 1.28\u20131.84]; phenotype 1: reference) during the follow\u2010up period (median, 461 [interquartile range, 130\u2013730] days).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">This study describes a novel phenotypical classification based on the I NEED HELP criteria, with significantly different prognoses identified for patients with advanced HF.
