Associated mortality and time spent in hospital following mitral valve intervention for mitral regurgitation according to frailty status: a nationwide Danish study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Little is known about how patient frailty affects mortality and hospitalization following mitral valve intervention for mitral regurgitation (MR).

Methods and results

Using Danish nationwide registries, we identified patients undergoing first-time mitral valve intervention for MR during the period 1996-2022. Patients were categorized as frail or non-frail based on the Hospital Frailty Risk Score. We assessed 1 year mortality with the reverse Kaplan-Meier estimator, and adjusted comparisons were computed using multivariable-adjusted Cox regression analysis. A composite outcome of death or time in hospital >14 days within 1 year was examined using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis. A total of 7000 patients (90.0%) were considered non-frail (median age 67
