Observed to expected 30-day mortality as a benchmark for transcatheter aortic valve replacement

摘要

Objective: The observed-to-expected 30-day mortality ratio (O:E ratio) is a standard metric by which transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) trials have been evaluated. Early TAVR trials consistently demonstrated O: E ratio less than 0.6 after TAVR when based on the Society for Thoracic Surgery Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS-PROM) for surgical aortic valve replacement. Recent published results from the Transcatheter Valve Therapy (TVT) Registry have demonstrated O:E ratios of 1.0. We evaluated our own O:E ratios for TAVR to investigate this discordance.
