Method: This is a retrospective cohort study involving 136 patients consecutively admitted with DHF between January 1 and December 31, 2011, with the following outcomes: acute renal failure, cardiogenic shock, rehospitalization, and hospital death. Individuals aged \u2265 18 years with DHF were included while those with more than 10% of missing data regarding outcomes were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 17.0. Chi-squared test was used to compare proportions. Student's T test was used to compare means. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to compare rehospitalization rates between the two groups over time.  Results: Chagasic and non-chagasic patients were compared. The first had lower mean systolic blood pressure (111.8\u00b118.4 versus 128.8\u00b124.4, p&lt;0.01), lower mean diastolic blood pressure (74.5\u00b113.6 versus 82.0\u00b115.2, p&lt;0.01) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (26.5\u00b16.2 versus 41.5\u00b118.9, p&lt;0.01). In all, 20 patients with Chagas (50.1%) were rehospitalized, compared to 35 patients in the non-Chagas group (35.4%, p=0.04). Log rank test = 4.5 (p&lt;0.01) showed that rehospitalization rates between the two groups over time (Kaplan-Meier curves) differed.  Conclusion: Chagas disease was associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure and lower left ventricular ejection fraction. The rehospitalization rate was higher in Chagas disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.63.01.57","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,2,20]],"date-time":"2017-02-20T14:39:26Z","timestamp":1487601566000},"page":"57-63","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Decompensated
