Evolution of Basic Activities of Daily Living Function in Older Patients One Year After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objectives

To assess the course and prediction of basic activities of daily living (ADL) function in patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Design

This was a prospective cohort study.

Setting

The setting was a single academic center in Switzerland.

Participants

Participants included individuals aged ≥70 years (n = 330) undergoing TAVI.

Measurements

A frailty index (based on geriatric assessment) and cardiac risk scores (EuroSCORE, Society of Thoracic Surgeons [STS] score) were determined in patients before TAVI. Basic ADL function was measured with patient or proxy interviews at baseline and 1-year follow up. We used logistic regression models to investigate the association between baseline factors and functional declin
