OBJECTIVES: Patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) often require diuretics during hospitalization to alleviate fluid retention and improve prognosis. However, the diuretic efficacy and renal impact of dapagliflozin in this population remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of dapagliflozin on diuresis and renal function in hospitalized patients with HFrEF. METHODS: =80). The following were compared between the 2 groups during hospitalization: The 24-hour average difference of liquid intake and output during the first 5 days, urine output, cumulative urine output, diuretic efficiency, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), hospitalization costs, drug costs, and cost-effectiveness ratio (C/E). RESULTS: >0.05). The C/E was more favorable in the dapagliflozin treatment group (425.36 vs. 476.67). CONCLUSIONS: In hospitalized patients with chronic HFrEF, dapagliflozin treatment increased 24-hour average difference of liquid intake and output and total urine output, reduced NT-proBNP levels, and showed a milder decline in eGFR in those with pre-existing renal impairment. Discharge blood pressure, drug costs, and hospital stay were not significantly affected. While standard therapy may offer better short-term clinical benefits, dapagliflozin demonstrated a superior short-term cost-effectiveness profile.
