Background:
Data on the feasibility and safety of same-day discharge (SDD) following mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) remain limited.
Objectives:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the contemporary trends and outcomes of SDD following M-TEER.
Methods:
We reviewed the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016-2022) to compare SDD following elective M-TEER with next-day discharge (NDD). The primary outcome was unplanned all-cause readmissions within 90 days. Secondary outcomes included 90-day heart failure (HF) readmissions and index hospitalization costs. Readmissions were compared using a Cox proportional hazards regression model.
Results:
A total of 39,804 weighted hospitalizations for M-TEER were included, of which 1.2% involved SDD, 69.0% NDD, and 29.8% second- or third-day discharge (ScD/TDD). From 2016 to 2022, the proportion of SDD and NDD increased from 0.4% to 2.4% and 47.9% to 76.7%, respectively, whereas ScD/TDD decreased from 51.7% to 20.9% (all ptrend<0.001). SDD was associated with a similar risk of 90-day all-cause readmission (14.8% vs 12.5%; adjusted HR: 1.25; 95% CI: 0.90-1.74) and HF readmission (4.4% vs 3.7%; adjusted HR: 1.22; 95% CI: 0.67-2.22) and significantly lower index hospitalization costs ($38,029 vs $43,319; P = 0.03) compared to NDD. ScD/TDD was associated with a higher risk of 90-day HF readmission-but not all-cause readmission-and higher index hospitalization costs ($49,648 vs $43,319; P < 0.001) compared to NDD.
Conclusions:
SDD following M-TEER is uncommon but associated with a similar risk of 90-day readmission and lower index hospitalization costs compared to NDD. Further research is warranted to identify optimal patient selection criteria for SDD after M-TEER.
Insights
Same-day discharge (SDD) after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) is rare but safe. This approach shows similar 90-day readmission risks and lower costs compared to next-day discharge (NDD).
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Limited data exists on the feasibility and safety of same-day discharge (SDD) after mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER).
- Evaluating contemporary trends and outcomes of SDD following M-TEER is crucial for clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess trends in same-day discharge (SDD) versus next-day discharge (NDD) after elective mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER).
- To compare the safety and economic outcomes of SDD versus NDD after M-TEER.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016-2022) was conducted.
- Elective M-TEER hospitalizations were categorized into SDD, NDD, and second- or third-day discharge (ScD/TDD).
- Cox proportional hazards regression was used to compare 90-day unplanned all-cause readmissions, 90-day heart failure readmissions, and index hospitalization costs.
Main Results:
- The proportion of SDD increased from 0.4% to 2.4% between 2016 and 2022, while ScD/TDD decreased significantly.
- SDD was associated with similar 90-day all-cause readmission (14.8% vs 12.5%) and heart failure readmission (4.4% vs 3.7%) risks compared to NDD.
- SDD resulted in significantly lower index hospitalization costs ($38,029 vs $43,319; P=0.03) compared to NDD.
Conclusions:
- Same-day discharge (SDD) following M-TEER is infrequently utilized but demonstrates comparable safety regarding 90-day readmissions to next-day discharge (NDD).
- SDD is associated with reduced index hospitalization costs, suggesting potential economic benefits.
- Further research is needed to define optimal patient selection criteria for SDD after M-TEER.
