Li H, Li J, Huang X, Bhushan S, Yang J. The impact of frailty as a critical mediator causing postoperative neurocognitive disorders in postoperative cardiac patients. Curr Probl Cardiol 2024; 49:102528. [PMID: 38492615 DOI: 10.1016/j.cpcardiol.2024.102528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
Frailty is prevalent in elderly cardiac patients and may be a critical predictor of post-operative neurocognitive disorders (PND). The aim of this review was to demonstrate the correlation of frailty with PND in postsurgical elder patients. A review of published literature and bibliometric analysis was undertaken. Electronic databases from 2009 to 2022 were searched to identify articles that evaluated the relationship between frailty and PND in aging populations. Demographic data, type of surgery performed, frailty measurement, and impact of frailty on PND were extracted from the selected studies. The quality of the studies and risk of bias were assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale, and the included articles were assessed as medium to high quality. Eighty-one studies were selected for the Bibliometric review in terms of research trends and hotpots. Additionally, 35 observational studies (prospective and retrospective cohorts) were selected for this review. The mean age ranged from 63 to 84 years and included patients undergoing cardiac, orthopedic, and other surgeries who had cardiac symptoms. Regardless of how frailty was measured, the strongest evidence in terms of numbers of studies, consistency of results, and study quality was for associations between frailty and PND. This analysis found a steadily growing focus on frailty and PND research in cardiac and other patients. The observational studies account for the majority of this area, and frailty occurred in the older cardiac patients over 60 years of age, and pre-screening of frailty can be predictive of PND and mortality.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the literature on mental health symptoms before and after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and describe reported clinical associations with these symptoms. METHODS Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, we reviewed studies involving pre- or post-TAVR mental health assessments or psychiatric diagnoses. RESULTS Eighteen studies were included. Before TAVR, clinically significant depression and anxiety prevalence is 15-30% and 25-30%, respectively, with only a third of these meeting diagnostic thresholds. These symptoms generally improve over the year post-TAVR. Depression is associated with functional impairment, multimorbidity, and lower physical activity; few associations have been described in relation to anxiety. Inconsistent evidence finds depression associated with post-TAVR mortality. One notable study found persistent depression independently predictive of 12-month mortality, and another found depression and cognition to have additive value in predicting mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS Mental health symptoms occur in a significant proportion of the TAVR population. Although symptoms tend to improve, the associations with depression, particularly persistent depression, call for further investigation to examine their associated outcomes. Research is also needed to understand the relationships between mental health conditions and cognition in TAVR-related outcomes.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a relatively new treatment method for aortic stenosis (AS) and has been demonstrated to be suitable for patients with varying risk levels. Indeed, among high-risk patients, TAVR outcomes are comparable to, or even better, than that of the traditional surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) method. TAVR outcomes, with respect to post-surgical functional capacity and quality of life, have also been found to be improved, especially when combined with cardiac rehabilitation (CR). CR is a multidisciplinary system, which integrates cardiology with other medical disciplines, such as sports, nutritional, mind-body, and behavioral medicine. It entails the development of appropriate medication, exercise, and diet prescriptions, along with providing psychological support, ensuring the cessation of smoking, and developing risk factor management strategies for cardiovascular disease patients. However, even with CR being able to improve TAVR outcomes and reduce post-surgical mortality rates, it still has largely been underutilized in clinical settings. This article reviews the usage of CR during both pre-and postoperative periods for valvular diseases, and the factors involved in influencing subsequent patient prognoses, thereby providing a direction for subsequent research and clinical applications.

Abstract
The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the association of general anesthesia (GA) exposure with the risk of POD in this patient population. Databases including Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to December 2022. Analysis of 17 studies published between 2015 and 2021 involving 10,678 individuals revealed an association of GA exposure with an elevated risk of POD [odd ratio (OR) = 1.846, 95% CI 1.329 to 2.563, p = 0.0003, I2 = 68.4%, 10,678 patients]. Subgroup analysis of the diagnostic methods also demonstrated a positive correlation between GA exposure and POD risk when validated methods were used for POD diagnosis (OR = 2.199, 95% CI 1.46 to 3.31, p = 0.0002). Meta-regression analyses showed no significant impact of age, male proportion, and sample size on the correlation between GA and the risk of POD. The reported overall incidence of POD from the included studies regardless of the type of anesthesia was between 0.8 and 27%. Our meta-analysis showed a pooled incidence of 10.3% (95% CI 7% to 15%). This meta-analysis suggested an association of general anesthesia with an elevated risk of postoperative delirium, implying the necessity of implementing appropriate prophylactic strategies against this complication when general anesthesia was used in this clinical setting.

The Clock-Drawing Test as a Useful Screening Assessment of Preoperative Cognitive Impairment with Readmission After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Yonago Acta Med 2023; 66:345-354. [PMID: 37621977 PMCID: PMC10444581 DOI: 10.33160/yam.2023.08.003] [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: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has recently become more common as a treatment for severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Cognitive impairment (CI) is strongly associated with the prognosis of TAVI patients. However, some cognitive assessments currently in use are difficult to perform routinely in the clinical setting. To easier CI evaluation, we investigated whether CI using the clock-drawing test (CDT), one part of the Mini-Cog, affects the postoperative prognosis of TAVI patients with AS. Methods The present study enrolled 52 patients (median age, 85 years; 28.8% male) who underwent TAVI and were discharged between 2019 and 2021. The outcome was readmission for all causes within one year of discharge and patients were grouped according to whether they were readmitted or not. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Cog which combines verbal playback and CDT. Results Of the 52, 11 patients (21.2%) comprised readmission group, including 4 (36.4%) each for fracture and infection, and 1 (9.1%) each for heart failure, subdural hematoma, and pneumothorax. Median Mini-Cog score was lower in the readmission group than in the non-readmission group (4 vs. 5; P < 0.05). The frequency of Mini-Cog score < 3 (indicative of CI) and CDT failure were significantly higher in the readmission group than in the non-readmission group, respectively (46% vs. 7%, P < 0.01) (46% vs. 12%, P < 0.05). Both of Mini-Cog score < 3 and CDT failure were independently associated with readmission. The areas under the curve showed CDT was an indicator of readmission with similar accuracy to the Mini-Cog score < 3. Kaplan-Meier curves showed significant differences in readmission after 1 year between the 2 Mini-Cog groups with scores of < 3 or ≥ 3 points and CDT failure and success. Conclusion The CDT may be a very easy and simple screening assessment of preoperative CI with readmission within one year after TAVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and cognitive dysfunction (CD) are not routinely screened for in patients before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and their association with postprocedural outcomes is poorly understood. The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of depression and CD in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR and evaluate their association with mortality and quality of life. METHODS We analyzed a prospective, multicenter TAVR registry that systematically screened patients for preexisting depression and CD with the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 and Mini-Cog, respectively. The associations with mortality were assessed with Cox proportional hazard models and quality of life (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire and EuroQol visual analogue scale) were evaluated using multivariable ordinal regression models. RESULTS A total of 884 patients were included; median follow-up was 2.88 years (interquartile range=1.2-3.7). At baseline, depression was observed in 19.6% and CD in 31.8%. In separate models, after adjustment, depression (HR, 1.45 [95% CI, 1.13-1.86]; P<0.01) and CD (HR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.02-1.59]; P=0.04) were each associated with increased mortality. Combining depression and CD into a single model, mortality was greatest among those with both depression and CD (n=62; HR, 2.06 [CI, 1.44-2.96]; P<0.01). After adjustment, depression was associated with 6.6 (0.3-13.6) points lower on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire 1-year post-TAVR and 6.7 (0.5-12.7) points lower on the EuroQol visual analogue scale. CD was only associated with lower EuroQol visual analogue scale. CONCLUSIONS Depression and CD are common in patients that undergo TAVR and are associated with increased mortality and worse quality of life. Depression may be a modifiable therapeutic target to improve outcomes after TAVR.

The prognostic impacts of frailty on clinical and patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery or valvular surgeries/procedures: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Ageing Res Rev 2023; 85:101850. [PMID: 36640867 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2023.101850] [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: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 12/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is emerging as an important prognostic indicator for patients undergoing cardiac surgeries/procedures. We sought to evaluate the prognostic and differential impacts of frailty on patients undergoing coronary artery or valvular surgical procedures of different levels of invasiveness, and to explore the differential predictability of various frailty measurement models. METHODS Eight databases were searched for prospective cohort studies that have adopted validated measure(s) of frailty and reported clinical, healthcare service utilization, or patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery or valvular surgeries/procedures. RESULTS Sixty-two articles were included (N = 16,679). Frailty significantly predicted mortality (short-term [≤ 30 days]: odds ratio [OR]: 2.33, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-4.26; midterm [6 months to 1 year]: OR: 3.93, 95%CI: 2.65-5.83; long-term [>1 year]: HR: 2.23, 95%CI: 1.60-3.11), postoperative complications (ORs: 2.54-3.57), discharge to care facilities (OR: 5.52, 95%CI: 3.84-7.94), hospital readmission (OR: 2.00, 95%CI: 1.15-3.50), and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL; standardized mean difference: -0.74, 95%CI: -1.30 to -0.18). Subgroup analyses showed that frailty exerted a greater impact on short-term mortality in patients undergoing open-heart surgeries than those receiving transcatheter procedures. Multidimensional and physical-aspect-focused frailty measurements performed equally in predicting mortality, but multidimensional measurements were more predictive of hospital readmission than physical-aspect-focused measurements. CONCLUSION Frailty was predictive of postoperative mortality, complications, increased healthcare service utilization, and reduced HRQoL. The impact of frailty on short-term mortality was more prominent in patients undergoing open-heart surgeries than those receiving transcatheter procedures. Multidimensional measures of frailty enhanced prognostic risk estimation, especially for hospital readmission.

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
Advanced age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA) classification and the presence of cognitive impairment are associated with an elevated risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality. The visual paired comparison (VPC) task, which relies on recognition of novel images, examines declarative memory. VPC scores have demonstrated the ability to detect mild cognitive impairment and track progression of neurodegenerative disease. Quantitative pupillometry may have similar value. We evaluate for associations between these variables of interest and the feasibility of performing these tests in the preoperative clinic. Prospective data from 199 patients seen in the preoperative clinic at a tertiary academic center were analyzed. A 5 min VPC task (Neurotrack Technologies, Inc, Redwood City, CA) was administered during their scheduled preoperative clinic visit. Pupillary light reflexes were measured at the same visit (PLR-3000™, Neuroptics Corp, Irvine, California).Thirty-four percent of patients were categorized as ASA 2 and 58% as ASA 3. Median age was 57 (IQR: 44-69). Associations were demonstrated between age and ASA physical status (Mann-Whitney U Test, p < 0.0001), maximum pupil size (Spearman Rank Correlation, r = - 0.40, p < 0.0001), and maximum constriction velocity (Spearman Rank Correlation, r = - 0.39, p < 0.0001). Our data also revealed an association between VPC score and age (Spearman Rank Correlation, p = 0.0016, r = - 0.21) but not ASA score (Kruskal-Wallis Test, p = 0.14). When compared to a nonsurgical cohort with no history of memory impairment, our population scored worse on the VPC task (Mann-Whitney U Test, p = 0.0002). A preoperative 5 min VPC task and pupillometry are feasible tests in the preoperative setting and may provide a valuable window into an individual's cognition prior to elective surgery.

Abstract
Objectives Delirium is an important prognostic factor in postoperative patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery and intervention, including transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, delirium after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (DAT) is difficult to predict and its pathophysiology is still unclear. We aimed to investigate whether preoperative cerebral blood flow (CBF) is associated with DAT and, if so, whether CBF measurement is useful for predicting DAT. Methods We evaluated CBF in 50 consecutive patients before TAVI (84.7±4.5 yrs., 36 females) using 99mTc ethyl cysteinate dimer single-photon emission computed tomography. Preoperative CBF of the DAT group (N = 12) was compared with that of the non-DAT group (N = 38) using whole brain voxel-wise analysis with SPM12 and region of interest-based analysis with the easy-Z score imaging system. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with the presence of DAT was used to create its prediction model. Results The whole brain analysis showed that preoperative CBF in the insula was lower in the DAT than in the non-DAT group (P<0.05, family-wise error correction). Decrease extent ratio in the insula of the DAT group (17.6±11.5%) was also greater relative to that of the non-DAT group (7.0±11.3%) in the region of interest-based analysis (P = 0.007). A model that included preoperative CBF in the insula and conventional indicators (frailty index, short physical performance battery and mini-mental state examination) showed the best predictive power for DAT (AUC 0.882). Conclusions These results suggest that preoperative CBF in the insula is associated with DAT and may be useful for its prediction.

Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10112211. [PMID: 36360552 PMCID: PMC9690735 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10112211] [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: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Quality of life is an important factor influencing mood. In any group of elderly people undergoing valve implementation or surgical aortic valve replacement, one in three will have depressive symptoms. The aims of this study were as follows: 1. to evaluate the impact of health-related quality of life on depressive symptoms in elderly patients undergoing TAVI, and 2. to analyze beliefs about TAVI. Methods: A total of 131 elderly people (mean age: 82.1 ± 6.1 years) scheduled to receive TAVI completed the Geriatric Depression Scale, EQ-5D-3L, and Mini Mental State Examination. A total of 43 patients completed the questionnaires after the treatment. The narrative interview analyses were performed based on 20 randomly selected patients after TAVI. Results: The mean level of general depression before TAVI was 4.19 ± 2.83, and after it was 3.12 ± 2.52 (p = 0.02), and the frequency decreased from 20% to 3%. An increase in the level of activity and number of interests and a decrease in life satisfaction were identified. The higher the general quality of life was, the lower the levels of depressiveness before and after TAVI were (r = 0.26 vs. r = 0.48; p < 0.05). Conclusions: Patients differed in their depressive symptoms, as well as their intensity and frequency, before and after TAVI. These results underscore the importance of screening for depression at baseline and reassessing changes in depressiveness during follow-up.

Abstract
Over the last decade, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. With exponential increase in the number of TAVI procedures, frailty assessments have been considered important for patients undergoing TAVI, and a number of studies have indicated a relationship between the frailty and post-TAVI outcomes. In this review, using studies searched systematically in the PubMed database, we review important frailty assessment tools that can be used as prognostic factors for patients before TAVI. The assessment tools were categorized as quantitative single marker, semi-quantitative single marker, or quantitative combined marker. Studies were further stratified by whether they used frailty markers to predict patients' prognosis pre-TAVI or to evaluate frailty improvement post-TAVI. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), a semi-quantitative assessment, is one of the frailty assessment tools discussed. It may be easily used even in an outpatient consultation room. The CFS classifies patients' activity into nine categories, based on a simple interview and the patient's appearance. Gait speed and serum albumin levels were considered as qualitative frailty assessment tools. Compared to other methods, the Essential Frailty Toolset had the highest inter-rater reliability for accuracy in predicting mortality, thereby allowing better identification of vulnerable old age people and optimization of outcomes. A few studies have also focused on changes in frailty pre- and post-TAVI. Serum albumin-level measurements are important for assessing the frailty improvement in the chronic phase. Each frailty assessment tool had its own characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses, and therefore, these tools need to be selected based on where they are being used and the patient's condition.

Abstract
Background Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nuclei (STN-DBS) is a standard treatment option for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Delirium following DBS electrode implantation is common, by several studies, and cognitive impairment is a risk factor for developing postoperative delirium (POD). This prospective observational study was conducted to identify whether preoperative baseline cognitive status has an association with POD in PD patients undergoing DBS surgery. Methods Preoperatively, neuropsychiatric and neuropsychological assessments of the patients were performed including clinical dementia rating (CDR) score, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) score, mini-mental state exam (MMSE) score, Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score, Hamilton anxiety (HAMA) and Hamilton depression (HAMD) scores, and numerical cancellation test. POD was identified by the confusion assessment method (CAM) twice per day on postoperative day 1 until discharge. Results Twenty-seven (21.6%) of 125 patients developed POD. Among the variables screened, age, CDR score, MMSE score, and HAMA score were indicated to be independent influence factors of POD. The cutoff score, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of age, CDR score, MMSE score, and HAMA score associated with POD was 58.5, 0.751, 92.6%, 52.0%; 0.5, 0.848, 77.8%, 91.8%; 27.5, 0.827, 88.9%, 62.2%; and 12.5, 0.706, 85.2%, 54.1%, respectively. Conclusions We observed age, CDR score, MMSE score, and HAMA score were independent influence factors of POD in PD patients who received DBS. It is necessary to assess the cognitive status of PD patients before surgery to identify high-risk patients.

Abstract
Although transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has revolutionised the landscape of treatment for aortic stenosis, there exists a cohort of patients where TAVI is deemed futile. Among the pivotal high-risk trials, one-third to half of patients either died or received no symptomatic benefit from the procedure at 1 year. Futility of TAVI results in the unnecessary exposure of risk for patients and inefficient resource utilisation for healthcare services. Several cardiac and extra-cardiac conditions and frailty increase the risk of mortality despite TAVI. Among the survivors, these comorbidities can inhibit improvements in symptoms and quality of life. However, certain conditions are reversible with TAVI (e.g. functional mitral regurgitation), attenuating the risk and improving outcomes. Quantification of disease severity, identification of reversible factors and a systematic evaluation of frailty can substantially improve risk stratification and outcomes. This review examines the contribution of pre-existing comorbidities towards futility in TAVI and suggests a systematic approach to guide patient evaluation.

Abstract
Elderly patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation can experience post-operative neurological impairments. Cutting-edge robotic assessments may help detect neurocognitive dysfunction in this patient population. By quantifying neurological functioning before and after surgery, a diverse array of impairments can be uncovered. Future studies using robotic technology can help determine predictors of neurological functioning in surgical patients.
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a routine procedure that is often performed on older adults that are high-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis. Patients after TAVI may experience neurological complications. However, there is a lack of objective neurological testing available for patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Objective This brief communication seeks to explore the use of robotic technology to quantify distinctive patterns of visuospatial, sensorimotor, and cognitive functioning in patients undergoing TAVI. Methods Patients undergoing TAVI were recruited for this prospective observational study. Prior to their procedure, study participants performed four robotic reaching tasks using the Kinarm robotic system. Patients repeated the assessment three months after their TAVI procedure. Significant changes in overall task score and parameters were determined. Results Ten patients were recruited and included in this brief report. In a simple reaching task, patients show significant improvement in performance post-TAVI. However, patients do not improve nor worsen in a complex reaching task after TAVI. Similarly, patients demonstrate impairments in both trail making tasks before and after their TAVI procedure. Conclusions This study captures the variability in neurological functioning in older patients undergoing TAVI. Robotic technology and quantified assessment procedures can be extremely valuable for detecting perioperative neurological impairments in this patient population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In recent years, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the treatment of choice for patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis considered to be at increased or high surgical risk. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of postoperative adverse events in older adults undergoing TAVI. METHODS A prospective observational cohort study of patients who were referred to a geriatric outpatient clinic for a geriatric assessment prior to TAVI was conducted. The outcomes were mortality and hospital readmission within 3 months of TAVI and the occurrence of major postoperative complications during hospitalisation according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. These three outcomes were also combined to a composite outcome. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of the outcomes and composite outcome of adverse events. RESULTS This cohort included 490 patients who underwent TAVI (mean age 80.7±6.2 years, 47.3% male). Within 3 months of TAVI, 19 (3.9%) patients died and 46 (9.4%) patients experienced a hospital readmission. A total of 177 (36.1%) patients experienced one or more major complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification during hospitalisation and 193 patients (39.4%) experienced the composite outcome of adverse events. In multivariate analyses, cognitive impairment was identified as an independent predictor of major postoperative complications (OR 2.16; 95% CI 1.14 to 4.19) and the composite outcome of adverse events (OR 2.40; 95% CI 1.21 to 4.79). No association was found between the other variables and the separate outcomes and composite outcome. CONCLUSION Cognitive impairment is associated with postoperative adverse events in older patients undergoing TAVI. Therefore, it is important to screen for cognitive impairment prior to TAVI and it is recommended to include this in current TAVI guidelines.

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
Introduction In recent decades, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a treatment of choice for aortic stenosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate predictors of mortality in patients undergoing TAVI. Methods The National Inpatient Sample database from the year 2011 to 2018 was used to identify all patients undergoing TAVI during the study period. Results A total of 215,983 weighted hospitalizations for TAVI were included in the analysis. We report the following three main findings from our contemporary analysis of the NIS: (1) despite TAVI patients having a high comorbidity burden, mortality remains low at 2.2%, (2) in terms of baseline characteristics, end-stage renal disease, liver disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atrial fibrillation, and lung cancer remain significant predictors of mortality in patients undergoing TAVI, and (3) length of stay and cost of stay are significantly higher in patients who died during the hospitalization. Conclusion In conclusion, we report that at baseline, end-stage renal disease, liver disease, atrial fibrillation, and lung cancer are significant predictors of mortality in patients undergoing TAVI.

Abstract
Introduction: Over the last decade, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a treatment option for most patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). With growing indications and exponential increase in the number of TAVR procedures, it is important to be able to accurately predict mortality after TAVR.Areas covered: Herein, we review the surgical and TAVR-specific mortality prediction models (MPMs) and their performance in their original derivation and external validation cohorts. We then discuss the role of other important risk assessment tools such as frailty, echocardiographic parameters, and biomarkers in patients, being considered for TAVR.Expert opinion: Conventional surgical MPMs have suboptimal predictive performance and are mis-calibrated when applied to TAVR populations. Although a number of TAVR-specific MPMs have been developed, their utility is also limited by their modest discriminative ability when applied to populations external to their original derivation cohorts. There is an unmet need for robust TAVR MPMs that accurately predict post TAVR mortality. In the interim, heart teams should utilize the currently available TAVR-specific MPMs in conjunction with other prognostic factors, such as frailty, echocardiographic or computed tomography (CT) imaging parameters, and biomarkers for risk assessment of patients, being considered for TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, there is no composite screening tool that can efficiently and effectively assess prevalent yet under-recognized cognitive and neuropsychiatric comorbidities in patients with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to determine the validity and feasibility of a novel screen assessing cognitive impairment, anxiety, apathy and depression (CAAD screen) in those attending cardiac rehabilitation (CR). METHODS All patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular risk factors entering CR were screened as part of clinical care. A subset of those patients agreed to complete validation assessments (n = 127). Screen results were compared to widely accepted standards for cognition, anxiety, apathy, and depression using a modified receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve analysis. RESULTS The screen was completed by 97% of participants in 10 min or less with an average completion time of approximately 5 min. Screening scores adjusted for age, sex and years of education had acceptable or excellent validity compared to widely accepted standard diagnoses: CAAD-Cog (AUC = 0.80); CAAD-Anx (AUC = 0.81); CAAD-Apathy (AUC = 0.79) and CAAD-Dep (AUC = 0.85). CONCLUSIONS The CAAD screen may be a valid and feasible tool for detecting cognitive impairment, anxiety, apathy and depression in CR settings.
