Chronic Conditions and Patient-Centered Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter aortic valve intervention (TAVI) has revolutionized the care of older adults with aortic stenosis.

Objectives

The objectives of the study were to examine associations between chronic conditions and outcomes after TAVI and to describe palliative care utilization rates.

Methods

This cohort study used the Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Valve Therapy registry to identify patients who underwent TAVI and were eligible for linkage with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services claims data. The exposure was multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) in the year before TAVI. Associations between chronic conditions and outcomes were assessed using multivariable logistic regression.

Results

A total of 188,629 TAVI
