Fig 1.
The first five hospitalizations are considered. “In” stands for admission in hospital, “Out” for discharge from hospital and “D” for death. Patients with first admission for HF are considered. No distinction has been done between rehospitalization for heart failure or for any cause.

The state space is made by all the possible events described in the dataset: admission to hospital (H), to ICU or IHC, discharge from any state (OUT) and death.

Kaplan-Meier curve for survival time of patients up to the median follow-up time.
In panel (A), curves are stratified by the presence of at least one ICU or IHC in patient’s clinical history. In panel (B), curves are stratified by being de novo or WHF patients. In panel (C), curves are stratified by quartiles of the Charlson index.
