Ottawa Heart Failure Risk Scale (OHFRS)

Identifies patients with acute heart failure presenting to the emergency department who are at high risk for serious adverse events (death, respiratory intubation, or return visit requiring hospitalization) within 30 days. Low-risk patients may be safely managed with early outpatient care.

Parameters

OHFRS High-Risk Criteria (ANY present = high risk — admission recommended)any

History of stroke or TIAReceived IV diuretic therapy for heart failure in the past week (prior to this visit)Heart rate ≥ 110 bpm on triage or during initial ED evaluationRoom air oxygen saturation < 90% at triage or initial assessmentNew ischemic ST-segment or T-wave changes on ECG during this presentationUrea (BUN equivalent) ≥ 12 mmol/L (BUN ≥ 34 mg/dL)Serum creatinine ≥ 265 µmol/L (≥ 3.0 mg/dL)Serum sodium < 136 mEq/L (hyponatremia)
