In multivariable analysis, the independent predictors of extended LOS were: acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (HR 4.60, 95% CI 1.66–12.69), infections (HR 2.61, 95% CI 1.44–3.23), NT-proBNP > 1986 ng/mL (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.37–2.82), acute decompensated HF (ADHF) (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.23–2.51), HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.15–2.47) and the HAS-BLED score (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.14–1.78). Here, NPPB is linked to hydrops fetalis.
