Description
Lionel Gaillard and co-authors track avoidable heart failure hospitalizations in Switzerland over two decades in a 2024 study. Good outpatient care should keep many heart failure patients out of hospital. Admissions that happen anyway signal gaps in that care.
National discharge data held about two hundred six thousand such admissions between the late nineties and 2018. Rates per admission and per inhabitant both roughly doubled across the period. Patients grew older and carried more conditions over time. A wealthy, organized health system still losing ground on preventable admissions is a finding other countries should not wave away.
