Abstract
The SHFM allows prediction of important features of a patient's hospital course post-operatively, including length of stay and 1-year survival. Given evidence of improved survival and shorter hospital stay in lower risk patients, earlier LVAD placement based on a prediction model like the SHFM should be considered in advanced heart failure patients. The SHFM may have utility as a virtual control arm for single-arm LVAD trials.
