Mitral Repair versus Replacement: Twenty-Year Outcome Trends in the UK (2000-2019).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Using a large national database, we sought to describe outcome-trends in mitral valve surgery between 2000-2019.

Methods

The study cohort was split into mitral valve repair or replacement, including all patients regardless of concomitant procedures. Patients were grouped by four-year admission periods into groups (A to E). The primary outcome was in hospital mortality and secondary outcomes were return to theatre, post-operative stroke and postoperative length of stay. We investigated trends over time in patient demographics, comorbidities, intraoperative characteristics and postoperative outcomes. We used a multivariable binary logistic regression model to assess the relationship between mortality and time. Cohorts were further stratified by sex and aetiology.
