Impact of cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived right ventricular ejection fraction on adverse outcomes: A robust Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are few meta-analyses examining the prognostic value of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) for a specific type of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to compare the association of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived RVEF with adverse outcomes for several specific types of CVD, using a robust Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis.

Methods

Three databases were searched for CMR articles reporting hazard ratios (HRs) of RVEF restricted to a specific type of CVD. For each specific type of CVD, Bayesian model-averaged meta-analyses with and without publication bias adjustments were conducted to evaluate the strength of evidence for RVEF according to the Bayes factor (BF).
