The random-effects model was utilized to evaluate the pooled results.Participants: A total of 27 studies with 515,238 participants were finally meta-analysed. The HF patients had an average age of 76.3 years, with 51% of the sample being male, in the pooled analysis.Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures: The outcome measures were 30-day and 1-year readmission rates, mortality, and risk factors for readmission and mortality.Results: The effect sizes for readmission and mortality were estimated as the mean and 95% confidence interval (CI). The estimated 30-day and 1-year all-cause readmission rates were 0.19 (95% CI 0.14– 0.23) and 0.53 (95% CI 0.46– 0.59), respectively, while the all-cause mortality rates were 0.14 (95% CI 0.10– 0.18) and 0.29 (95% CI 0.25– 0.33), respectively. Comorbidities were highly prevalent in individuals with HF.Conclusion: Heart failure hospitalization is followed by high readmission and mortality rates.Keywords: heart failure, meta-analysis, prevalence, readmission, mortality, hospitalization
