We appreciate the commentary of Moliner and Comin-Colet [1] regarding our previously published article in the EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE. In our study, the LORHCA study, we tested the relationship between the length of hospitalization (LOH) and post-discharge outcomes in patients who had been hospitalized because of acute heart failure (AHF). Additionally, we also ascertained whether there were different outcome patterns according to hospital department in charge of the initial hospitalization [2].
