Comorbidity profiles and inpatient outcomes during hospitalization for heart failure: an analysis of the U.S. Nationwide inpatient sample

Table 3 **Key differentiating comorbidities: marginal probabilities (n = 192,327*)**

Comorbidity	Common n = 89,518^†(46.7%)	Lifestyle n = 37,797^†(19.6%)	Renal n = 57,228^†(29.6%)	Neurovascular n = 7,784^†(4.1%)
Paralysis	-0.422	-0.187	-0.302	0.911
Cerebrovascular disease	-0.417	-0.129	-0.220	0.765
Diabetes with complications	-0.515	-0.217	0.738	-0.006
Renal disease	-0.755	0.224	0.533	-0.002
Diabetes, uncomplicated	-0.142	0.573	-0.428	-0.003
Obesity	-0.175	0.227	-0.028	-0.024

All marginal probabilities were statistically significant (all p < 0.0001). Marginal effects in probability scale sum to zero for each comorbidity, with values closest to ±1.0 indicating the strongest differentiation.
^*Estimates generated using discharge weights (population estimate n = 976,664).
^†Population estimates for totals of discharges fitting the common, lifestyle, renal and neurovascular comorbid illness profiles were 455851, 191595, 289613, and 39604, respectively.
