Geriatric assessment for predicting outcomes among patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is scarce data about comparisons between geriatric assessment tools in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). We aimed to describe the geriatric profile of patients with AS undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and to analyze the ability of different tools for predicting clinical outcomes in this context.

Methods

This was a single center retrospective registry including patients with AS undergoing TAVI and surviving to hospital discharge. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality or need for urgent readmission one year after TAVI.

Results

A total of 377 patients were included (mean age of 80.4 years). Most patients were independent or mildly dependent, with an optimal cognitive status. The proportion of frailty ranged from 17.6% to
