Admission Body Temperature and Mortality in Elderly Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure

For this analysis, we excluded patients: 1) age 38°C did not have a significantly higher risk for in-hospital mortality; however, an elevated body temperature was associated with a lower risk for one-year mortality (adjusted RR 0.80, p = 0.001).
