Quickly calculate the ADHERE Risk Score, a vital tool for healthcare professionals to assess in-hospital mortality risk for patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). This calculator evaluates key clinical parameters like Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), and Creatinine to provide a reliable prognostic score.
Formula:
The ADHERE Risk Score is a summation of points assigned to nine specific clinical variables. Each variable, when meeting a specific threshold, contributes a set number of points to the total score. A higher cumulative score indicates an increased likelihood of in-hospital mortality for patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
- Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) < 110 mmHg: 3 points
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) > 43 mg/dL: 4 points
- Creatinine > 2.75 mg/dL: 3 points
- Heart Rate > 108 bpm: 2 points
- Potassium > 5.2 mEq/L: 2 points
- Age > 70 years: 2 points
- Male Gender: 1 point
- Weight < 67.5 kg: 1 point
- History of COPD: 1 point
