Original research article: Improving risk stratification in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction by combining two validated risk scoresDOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2018-000961 Keywords: heart failure with normal ejection fraction, quality of care and outcomes, heart failure, heart failure preserved ejection fraction Abstract: The Intermountain Risk Score (IMRS) was developed and validated to predict short-term and long-term mortality in hospitalised patients using demographics and commonly available laboratory data. In this study, we sought to determine whether the IMRS also predicts all-cause mortality in patients hospitalised with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and whether it is complementary to the Get with the Guidelines Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk score or N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)
