AHRQ Stats: Mortality Rate for Heart Failure and Stroke

Between 2002 and 2012, decreases in congestive heart failure and stroke mortality were largest for patients in the poorest communities (34 percent and 30 percent respectively) and smallest for those in the wealthiest communities (24 percent and 23 percent respectively).

Highlights
  • Observed inpatient mortality rates among adults declined between 2002 and 2012 for four high-volume conditions: 45 percent decrease for pneumonia, 41 percent decrease for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 29 percent decrease for congestive heart failure (CHF), and 27 percent decrease for stroke.


  • Inpatient mortality for pneumonia demonstrated the largest decrease of the four conditions across subgroups.
    • Decreases in the inpatient mortality rate for pneumonia were largest for Medicaid and uninsured patients (56 and 55 percent, respectively).
    • Pneumonia mortality decreased by nearly half for patients in all community income groups.


  • Decreases in mortality for CHF and stroke were largest among patients from the poorest communities (34 percent decrease for CHF and 30 percent decrease for stroke).


  • Uninsured patients had the largest decrease in inpatient mortality for stroke (42 percent) compared with Medicare, Medicaid, and privately insured patients.


  • Inpatient mortality for AMI decreased by approximately 40 percent in rural (42 percent), metropolitan (41 percent), and micropolitan (40 percent) areas.
