Mortality rates and causes of death after cardiac interventions: real-world short- and long-term insights from the Netherlands.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study is to gain insight into mortality rates and causes of death after major cardiac interventions, using nationwide real-world data from the Netherlands.

Methods

For this retrospective observational study, data from Statistics Netherlands and the Dutch all-payer claims database in the period 2016-2019 were used to select the intervention groups: coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention, surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), SAVR + CABG, mitral valve surgery, transcatheter heart valve intervention, pulmonary vein isolation and minimally-invasive maze surgery. For all interventions, survival status, date, and cause of death were retrieved. Causes of death were clustered for cardiovascular (CV) and non-CV causes
