Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Heart failure (HF) is associated with increased mortality worldwide. Adverse health outcomes in HF are commonly attributed to poor adherence to self-care, including smoking cessation. Smoking is the major modifiable risk factor for HF. Patients have been observed to continue smoking even after diagnosis with HF. Despite the possible association between persistent smoking and adverse health outcomes among HF populations, no consensus has been reached. We aimed to review the literature to determine the association between smoking status after HF diagnosis and adverse health outcomes. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Embase. Hand searching was also performed. In total, 9 articles (n=70461) were included in the review for meta-analysis, including seven cohort studies and two cross-sectional studies. Quality was assessed using the modified version of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: Approximately 16% of HF patients continued smoking after HF diagnosis. Persistent smoking increased the hazard ratio (HR) of mortality by 38.4% (HR=1.384; 95% CI: 1.139-1.681) and readmission by 44.8% (HR=1.448; 95% CI: 1.086-1.930). Our review also found that persistent smoking was associated with poor health status, ventricular tachycardia, and arterial stiffness. CONCLUSIONS: This review highlights the importance of assessment for any history of smoking before and after HF diagnosis. There is a need for smoking cessation programs to be established as crucial components of care for patients with HF. More studies are needed to investigate the possible mechanisms underlying relations among smoking patterns and health consequences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
