Risk Factors for Hospital Readmission Post-Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in the Contemporary Era: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) becoming a widely accepted therapeutic option for the management of aortic stenosis, post-procedure readmission rates remain high. Rehospitalization is associated with negative patient outcomes, as well as increased healthcare costs, and has therefore been identified as an important target for quality improvement. Strategies to reduce the post-TAVI readmission rate are needed but require the identification of patients at high risk for rehospitalization. Our systematic review aims to identify predictors of post-procedure readmission in patients eligible for TAVI.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive search of the MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases for the tim
