Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis. The Triglycerides × Total Cholesterol × Body Weight Index (TCBI) is a simple scoring model to evaluate the status of nutrition. However, the prognostic relevance of this index in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association of the TCBI with clinical outcomes in patients undergoing TAVR. METHODS A total of 1377 patients undergoing TAVR were evaluated in this study. The TCBI was calculated by the formula; triglyceride (mg/dL) × total cholesterol (mg/dL) × body weight (kg)/1000. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality within 3 years. RESULTS Patients with a low TCBI, based on a cut-off value of 985.3, were more likely to have elevated right atrial pressure (p = 0.04), elevated right ventricular pressure (p < 0.01), right ventricular systolic dysfunction (p < 0.01), tricuspid regurgitation ≥ moderate (p < 0.01). Patients with a low TCBI had a higher cumulative 3-year all-cause (42.3% vs. 31.6%, p < 0.01; adjusted HR 1.36, 95% CI 1.05-1.77, p = 0.02) and non-cardiovascular mortality (15.5% vs. 9.1%, p < 0.01; adjusted HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.22-3.13, p < 0.01) compared to those with a high TCBI. Adding a low TCBI to EuroSCORE II improved the predictive value for 3-year all-cause mortality (net reclassification improvement, 0.179, p < 0.01; integrated discrimination improvement, 0.005, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients with a low TCBI were more likely to have right-sided heart overload and exhibited an increased risk of 3-year mortality. The TCBI may provide additional information for risk stratification in patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the hallmarks of frailty in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) is malnutrition, for which one of the most up-to-date scoring systems is the Naples prognostic score (NPS). This study sought to investigate the predictive role of the NPS in determining mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) under long-term follow-up. METHODS A total of 430 consecutive patients with symptomatic severe AS who underwent TAVR were included retrospectively. The primary endpoint of the study was the long-term all-cause mortality. The study population was divided into two groups according to the NPS value, including Group 1 (NPS 0-2) and Group 2 (NPS 3-4). RESULTS The all-cause mortality occurred in 250 patients (62.5%) patients during a follow-up time of 40.6 (22.0-69.4) months. During the follow-up period, all-cause mortality was higher in Group 2 compared with Group 1 (87.9% vs. 42.9%, p < 0.001). Older age (p < 0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (p = 0.015), left ventricular ejection fraction (p = 0.021), and being in Group 2 (high NPS) (hazard ratio: 7.058, 95% confidence interval: 5.174-9.629, p < 0.001) were found to be independent predictors of all-cause mortality at long-term follow-up. CONCLUSION The NPS as a malnutrition and inflammation marker in patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR provides valuable information for all-cause mortality under long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Moderate to severe frailty is a predictor of a poor outcome after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), but little is known about the prognostic importance of different geriatric frailty markers in an overall fit or pre-frail geriatric population undergoing TAVR. This retrospective study aimed to examine the incremental value of adding patient frailty markers to conventional surgical risk score to predict all-cause mortality in relatively fit elderly patients undergoing TAVR. Overall patient frailty was assessed using the comprehensive geriatric assessment frailty index (CGA-FI). Multivariable Cox regression models were used to evaluate relationships of different geriatric frailty markers with all-cause mortality and single and combined frailty models were compared to a baseline model that included EuroSCORE II factors. One hundred relatively fit geriatric patients (84 ± 4 years old, mean CGA-FI 0.14 ± 0.05) were included, and 28% died during a median follow-up of 24 months. After adjustment, risk of depression (geriatric depression scale 15 (GDS-15)) and malnutrition remained significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR 4.381, 95% CI 1.787-10.743; p = 0.001 and HR 3.076, 95% CI 1.151-8.217; p = 0.025, respectively). A combined frailty marker model including both GDS-15 and malnutrition on top of EuroSCORE II improved the discriminative ability to predict all-cause mortality (change in c-index: + 0.044). Screening for those frailty markers on top of the traditionally used EuroSCORE II may improve risk stratification and prognosis in relatively fit geriatric patients undergoing TAVR.

Outcome of Nonagenarians Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Nationwide Registry Analysis From Japan. JACC. ASIA 2022; 2:856-864. [PMID: 36713753 PMCID: PMC9876954 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacasi.2022.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Background Nonagenarians are a growing age group in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); however, the appropriate use of TAVR in this population remains discussed because of their limited life expectancy and worse outcome reported. Objectives The authors aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and the prognostic impact of nonagenarians. Methods We analyzed consecutive patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR and were registered in the nationwide registry for TAVR in Japan (Japanese Transcatheter Valvular Therapies registry) between 2013 and 2018. The rate of 30-day and 1-year mortality and composite adverse event, comprising all-cause death, all stroke, and life-threatening/major bleeding, were assessed. Results Of the 15,028 registered patients during the study period, 2,215 (14.7%) were nonagenarians. Although the nonagenarians were less likely to have comorbid conditions (eg, diabetes mellitus and malignancy) than patients aged <90 y, they had a higher Society of Thoracic Surgeons risk score (8.8% vs 5.6%), mainly owing to their advanced age. The procedural characteristics were identical between 2 groups. The rate of 30-day mortality and composite endpoint was similar, whereas 1-year mortality and composite adverse events were increased among nonagenarians (10.3% vs 6.8% and 13.5% vs 9.2%, respectively), and nonagenarians were independently associated with these endpoints (HR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.03-1.42; P = 0.023; HR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.07-1.42; P = 0.004). Conclusions Of the 15,028 TAVR procedures performed in Japan between 2013 and 2018, 14.7% were performed in nonagenarians. These patients were carefully selected by a multidisciplinary heart team and showed 21% and 24% increase of 1-year mortality and composite adverse outcome.

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
OBJECTIVES Our objectives were to review the literature to identify frailty instruments in use for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) recipients and synthesise prognostic data from these studies, in order to inform clinical management of frail patients undergoing TAVI. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature published in 2006 or later. We included studies of patients with aortic stenosis, diagnosed as frail, who underwent a TAVI procedure that reported mortality or clinical outcomes. We categorised the frailty instruments and reported on the prevalence of frailty in each study. We summarised the frequency of clinical outcomes and pooled outcomes from multiple studies. We explored heterogeneity and performed subgroup analysis, where possible. We also used Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) to assess the overall certainty of the estimates. RESULTS Of 49 included studies, 21 used single-dimension measures to assess frailty, 3 used administrative data-based measures, and 25 used multidimensional measures. Prevalence of frailty ranged from 5.67% to 90.07%. Albumin was the most commonly used single-dimension frailty measure and the Fried or modified Fried phenotype were the most commonly used multidimensional measures. Meta-analyses of studies that used either the Fried or modified Fried phenotype showed a 30-day mortality of 7.86% (95% CI 5.20% to 11.70%) and a 1-year mortality of 26.91% (95% CI 21.50% to 33.11%). The GRADE system suggests very low certainty of the respective estimates. CONCLUSIONS Frailty instruments varied across studies, leading to a wide range of frailty prevalence estimates for TAVI recipients and substantial heterogeneity. The results provide clinicians, patients and healthcare administrators, with potentially useful information on the prognosis of frail patients undergoing TAVI. This review highlights the need for standardisation of frailty measurement to promote consistency. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42018090597.
