The CoDE-HF score was developed and validated using data from 10,369 patients with suspected acute heart failure across 14 cohorts from 13 countries. A statistical model was used to compute a score (0-100) that would correspond to an individual patient's estimated probability of acute heart failure. For further information, please refer to Lee and Doudesis et al BMJ2022;377:e068424
