A Quasi-experimental Study in Older Adults Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Clin Interv Aging 2024; 19:347-355. [PMID: 38434577 PMCID: PMC10909326 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s448167] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose Postoperative delirium (POD) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is frequent in older adults and associated with multiple negative outcomes including a higher mortality. We aimed to investigate whether a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) prior to TAVI reduces the odds of POD and results in a positive change in self-care ability, intended to lay a foundation for future geriatric comanagement. Patients and methods We used a retrospective, single-center study with a quasi-experimental design enrolling patients aged 70 years and older undergoing CGA before elective TAVI, and a nonrandomized comparison group without preoperative CGA. Data on POD occurrence during the first 5 days after TAVI (primary outcome) and change in self-care ability index (SPI) between admission and discharge (secondary outcome) were collected from electronic health records and CGA data (exposure) by clinical assessment. To explore associations between (1) CGA and POD, and (2) CGA and SPI, multivariate logistic regression and linear regression models were applied adjusting for age, sex, BMI, and number of medications. Results Among 435 patients (mean age 81.0 ± 5.6 years, 43.6% women, median [IQR] SPI at baseline 40 [39, 40] points), POD incidence was 14.3% in the CGA group vs 18.8% in the non-CGA group (P 0.219). Undergoing CGA before TAVI was not associated with the odds for POD (OR: 1.15; 95%CI: 0.65-2.04) or improved SPI (P 0.073). Conclusion We observed no association of CGA prior to TAVI with POD incidence or postoperative self-care, highlighting the need for additional studies investigating the effect of POD preventive measures in older TAVI patients integrated into a comprehensive geriatric comanagement program.

[PMID: 37884977 PMCID: PMC10604920 DOI: 10.1186/s13741-023-00345-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common postoperative complication, characterized by disturbance of attention, perception, and consciousness within 1 week after surgery, and linked to cognitive decline, increased mortality, and other serious surgical outcomes. Early identification and treatment of risk factors for POD could reduce the occurrence of delirium and the related poor outcomes. Malnutrition as a possible precipitating factor, defined as the poor anthropometric, functional, and clinical outcomes of nutrient deficiency, has been investigated. However, the evidence is controversial. The goal of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to comprehensively assess the correlation between preoperative malnutrition and POD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to search prospective cohort articles that explored the correlation between preoperative malnutrition and POD from inception until September 30, 2022. Two researchers independently conducted the literature selection and data extraction. The quality of the literature was evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for POD associated with malnutrition relative to normal nutritional status were calculated. RESULTS Seven prospective cohort studies qualified for the meta-analysis, which included 2701 patients. The pooled prevalence of preoperative malnutrition was 15.1% (408/2701), and POD occurred in 428 patients (15.8%). The NOS score was above 7 points in all 7 studies. Our results demonstrated that the pooled OR for malnutrition and POD was 2.32 (95% CI 1.62-3.32) based on a random-effects model. Our subgroup analysis suggested that the relationship between malnutrition and POD was significant in adults following noncardiac surgery (OR = 3.04, 95% CI, 1.99-4.62, P < 0.001), while there was no statistical significance in adults following cardiac surgery (OR = 1.76, 95% CI, 0.96-3.22, P = 0.07). Additionally, in the subgroup analysis based on different malnutrition assessment tools (MNA-SF versus others), a significant association was found in the MNA-SF group (OR = 3.04, 95% CI, 1.99-4.62, P < 0.001), but not in the others group (OR = 1.76, 95% CI, 0.96-3.22, P = 0.07). Other subgroup analyses showed that this association was not significantly affected by evaluation instruments for POD, location of the study, or quality of the article (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Based on the currently available evidence, our results suggested that preoperative malnutrition was independently associated with POD in adult surgical patients.

Abstract
Background Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication in operative patients. Neuroinflammation has been reported to be a potential mechanism associated with the development of POD. Identifying available inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) would aid clinicians in early detection of POD. Previous studies have demonstrated that CRP may be a promising predictive marker for POD. Thus, this study aimed to explore the association between CRP and POD among those elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods 643 patients with CRC were included in this study. CRP levels were measured before operation and on postoperative day 1. The univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to identify risk factors for POD. Results Of 643 patients with CRC, 112 cases (17.4%) had POD. CRC patients with POD showed older age, higher CRP level on postoperative day 1, and higher percentage of smoking, diabetes mellitus, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than CRC patients without POD. Preoperative CRP level was not associated with the POD. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses showed that older age (> 70 years), diabetes mellitus, COPD, and higher CRP level on postoperative day 1 (> 48 mg/L) were risk factors for POD in CRC patients. Conclusion Postoperative CRP level is an independent indicator for POD among CRC patients, suggesting the predictive role of postoperative CRP levels for POD in elderly CRC patients undergoing surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There are many well-described, but as yet unproven, physical ability tools to assess frailty. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 4 preoperative physical tests in predicting mortality, morbidity, and functional outcomes among octogenarians undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS Between 2016 and 2019, 200 patients aged 80 years or more undergoing elective cardiac surgery were prospectively recruited. Four physical tests were performed preoperatively: 5-m walk time, timed up-and-go, 5 time sit-to-stand, and handgrip strength tests. The primary end point was a composite of in-hospital mortality, neurologic, and pulmonary complications. Multivariate analysis was performed. RESULTS In-hospital mortality was 1.5%. Slow performance on the 5-m walk test (time ≥6.4 seconds) was the only independent predictor of the composite end point among the tests evaluated (odds ratio, 2.70; 95% confidence interval, 1.34-5.45; P = .006). At follow-up, patients with a slow 5-m walk test had a significantly lower midterm survival compared with patients with a normal test result (1-year survival 91.5% vs 98.7%, log-rank P = .03). Mean Physical and Mental Component Scores of the 12-item short form survey were 47.2 ± 8.3 and 53.6 ± 5.9, respectively, which are comparable to those of a general population aged more than 75 years. CONCLUSIONS The 5-m walk time test is an independent predictor of a composite of in-hospital mortality and major morbidity, as well as midterm survival. This test could be used as a simple adjunctive preoperative tool for octogenarians undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
AIMS To perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative delirium (POD) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from the time of the first human TAVR procedure in 2002 until December 24, 2021, which was supplemented by manual searches of bibliographies. Data were collected on incidence rates, risk factors, and/or associated mortality of POD after TAVR. Pooled analyses were conducted using random effects models to yield mean differences, odds ratios, hazard ratios, and risk ratios, with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS A total of 70 articles (69 studies) comprising 413,389 patients were included. The study heterogeneity was substantial. The pooled mean incidence of POD after TAVR in all included studies was 9.8% (95% CI: 8.7%-11.0%), whereas that in studies using validated tools to assess for delirium at least once a day for at least 2 consecutive days after TAVR was 20.7% (95% CI: 17.8%-23.7%). According to the level of evidence and results of meta-analysis, independent preoperative risk factors with a high level of evidence included increased age, male sex, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation/flutter, weight loss, electrolyte abnormality, and impaired Instrumental Activities of Daily Living; intraoperative risk factors included non-transfemoral access and general anesthesia; and acute kidney injury was a postoperative risk factor. POD after TAVR was associated with significantly increased mortality (pooled unadjusted RR: 2.20, 95% CI: 1.79-2.71; pooled adjusted RR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.25-2.10), particularly long-term mortality (pooled unadjusted HR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.91-4.23; pooled adjusted HR: 1.88, 95% CI: 1.30-2.73). CONCLUSIONS POD after TAVR is common and is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Accurate identification of risk factors for POD after TAVR and implementation of preventive measures are critical to improve prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heyde syndrome is the co-occurrence of aortic stenosis and gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to angiodysplasias. Surgical aortic valve replacement effectively reduces bleeding, but the effects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are largely unknown. This study aimed to describe the reduction of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with Heyde syndrome after TAVI and to identify the factors associated with rebleeding. METHODS We enrolled patients with Heyde syndrome from a prospective TAVI registry. Gastrointestinal bleeding episodes were assessed by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium classification, and cumulative incidence functions were used to calculate cessation rates. Factors potentially associated with rebleeding were analyzed using logistic regression. Differences between Heyde and non-Heyde patients were assessed through a case-cohort study. RESULTS Between December 2008 and June 2020, 1111 patients underwent TAVI. There were 70 patients with Heyde syndrome (6.3%). In the first year following TAVI, gastrointestinal bleeding ceased in 46 of 70 patients (62% [95% CI, 50%-74%]). Bleeding episodes decreased from 3.2 (95% CI, 2.5-4.2) to 1.6 ([95% CI, 1.2-2.2] P=0.001) and hemoglobin levels increased from 10.3 (95% CI, 10.0-10.8) to 11.3 (95% CI, 10.8-11.6) g/dL (P=0.007). Between 1 and 5 years after TAVI (35 [interquartile range, 21-51] months), 53 of 62 patients (83% [95% CI, 72%-92%]) no longer experienced gastrointestinal bleeding. Paravalvular leakage (≥mild) was associated with rebleeding risk (odds ratio, 3.65 [95% CI, 1.36-9.80]; P=0.010). Periprocedural bleeding was more common in Heyde than in control patients (adjusted odds ratio, 2.55 [95% CI, 1.37-4.73]; P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS Patients with Heyde syndrome are at increased risk for periprocedural bleeding. Post-TAVI, gastrointestinal bleeding disappears in the majority of patients. Paravalvular leakage may curtail these clinical benefits.

Abstract
Frailty assessment is recommended before elective transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to determine post-interventional prognosis. Several studies have investigated frailty in TAVI-patients using numerous assessments; however, it remains unclear which is the most appropriate tool for clinical practice. Therefore, we evaluate which frailty assessment is mainly used and meaningful for ≤30-day and ≥1-year prognosis in TAVI patients. Randomized controlled or observational studies (prospective/retrospective) investigating all-cause mortality in older (≥70 years) TAVI patients were identified (PubMed; May 2020). In total, 79 studies investigating frailty with 49 different assessments were included. As single markers of frailty, mostly gait speed (23 studies) and serum albumin (16 studies) were used. Higher risk of 1-year mortality was predicted by slower gait speed (highest Hazard Ratios (HR): 14.71; 95% confidence interval (CI) 6.50–33.30) and lower serum albumin level (highest HR: 3.12; 95% CI 1.80–5.42). Composite indices (five items; seven studies) were associated with 30-day (highest Odds Ratio (OR): 15.30; 95% CI 2.71–86.10) and 1-year mortality (highest OR: 2.75; 95% CI 1.55–4.87). In conclusion, single markers of frailty, in particular gait speed, were widely used to predict 1-year mortality. Composite indices were appropriate, as well as a comprehensive assessment of frailty.

Identifying New Factors Associated With Cognitive Decline and Delirium After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Study Protocol. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:657057. [PMID: 34458327 PMCID: PMC8385234 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.657057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the standard-of-care for treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and is also being increasingly recommended for low-risk patients. While TAVI boasts positive post-procedural outcomes, it is also associated with cognitive complications, namely delirium and cognitive decline. There is a pressing need for accurate risk tools which can identify TAVI patients at risk of delirium and cognitive decline, as risk scores designed for general cardiovascular surgery fall short. The present effect-finding exploratory study will assess the utility of various measures in the context of aging and frailty in predicting who will and who will not develop delirium or cognitive impairment following TAVI. The measures we propose include gait, visual symptoms, voice, swallowing, mood and sleep. Methods: This is an observational prospective cohort study focused on identifying pre-procedural risk factors for the development of delirium and cognitive decline following TAVI. Potential risk factors will be measured prior to TAVI. Primary outcomes will be post-procedure cognitive decline and delirium. Secondary outcomes include activities of daily living, quality of life, and mortality. Delirium presence will be measured on each of the first 2 days following TAVI. All other outcomes will be assessed at 3-, 6-, and 12-months post-operatively. A series of logistic regressions will be run to investigate the relationship between potential predictors and outcomes (presence vs. absence of either delirium or cognitive decline). Discussion: This study will assess the strengths of associations between a range of measures drawn from frailty and aging literature in terms of association with cognitive decline and delirium following TAVI. Identified measures can be used in future development of TAVI risk prediction models, which are essential for the accurate identification of cognitive at-risk patients and successful application of pre-procedural interventions. Clinical Trial Registration: This trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry. [https://bit.ly/2PAotP5], [ACTRN12618001114235].

Abstract
Background Surgical risk prediction models are routinely used to guide decision-making for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). New and updated TAVR-specific models have been developed to improve risk stratification; however, the best option remains unknown. Objective To perform a comparative validation study of six risk models for the prediction of 30-day mortality in TAVR Methods and results A total of 2946 patients undergoing transfemoral (TF, n = 2625) or transapical (TA, n = 321) TAVR from 2008 to 2018 from the German Rhine Transregio Aortic Diseases cohort were included. Six surgical and TAVR-specific risk scoring models (LogES I, ES II, STS PROM, FRANCE-2, OBSERVANT, GAVS-II) were evaluated for the prediction of 30-day mortality. Observed 30-day mortality was 3.7% (TF 3.2%; TA 7.5%), mean 30-day mortality risk prediction varied from 5.8 ± 5.0% (OBSERVANT) to 23.4 ± 15.9% (LogES I). Discrimination performance (ROC analysis, c-indices) ranged from 0.60 (OBSERVANT) to 0.67 (STS PROM), without significant differences between models, between TF or TA approach or over time. STS PROM discriminated numerically best in TF TAVR (c-index 0.66; range of c-indices 0.60 to 0.66); performance was very similar in TA TAVR (LogES I, ES II, FRANCE-2 and GAVS-II all with c-index 0.67). Regarding calibration, all risk scoring models—especially LogES I—overestimated mortality risk, especially in high-risk patients. Conclusions Surgical as well as TAVR-specific risk scoring models showed mediocre performance in prediction of 30-day mortality risk for TAVR in the German Rhine Transregio Aortic Diseases cohort. Development of new or updated risk models is necessary to improve risk stratification. Graphic abstract ![]()
