MEESSI-AHF Score: Explanation and Clinical Context MEESSI-AHF Score is a validated risk stratification tool for patients admitted with acute heart failure. It predicts in-hospital and 30-day post-discharge mortality using variables readily available at hospital admission, including age, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, renal function (BUN, creatinine), cardiac biomarkers (troponin, BNP/NT-proBNP), and prior heart failure history. The total score stratifies patients into low, intermediate, high, or very high risk categories, guiding clinical decision-making for monitoring intensity, therapeutic interventions, and discharge planning.
