Delirium Incidence and Functional Outcomes After Transcatheter and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) may be associated with less delirium and allow faster recovery than surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Objective

To examine the association of delirium and its severity with clinical and functional outcomes after SAVR and TAVR.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

An academic medical center.

Participants

A total of 187 patients, aged 70 years and older, undergoing SAVR (N = 77) and TAVR (N = 110) in 2014 to 2016.

Measurements

Delirium was assessed daily using the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), with severity measured by the CAM-Severity (CAM-S) score (range = 0-19). Outcomes were prolonged hospitalization (9 days or more); institutional discharge; and functional status, measure
