Impact of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score on Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Late Elderly Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesPrognostic prediction using objective indices is needed to optimize the indications for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We evaluated the impact of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS), an International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-based frailty index, on the prognosis after TAVR in the late elderly.
methodsWe identified patients aged ≥75 years undergoing TAVR from April 2014 to September 2020 from the Shizuoka Kokuho Database (SKDB). Cox logistic regression analysis was performed to examine predictors of long-term mortality. We also evaluated the relationship between HFRS categories (low risk: <5, intermediate risk: 5-15, high risk: >15) and functional decline.
resultsThis study involved 607 patients (189 (31.1%) men) with a mean age of 85.0 years. During the median follow-up period of 20 months, survival significantly differed among HFRS categories (survival at two years; low (HFRS <5): 88.9%, intermediate (HFRS 5-15): 82.6%, high (HFRS >15): 67.7%; log-rank p = 0.002). In the multivariate regression model, male sex (hazard ratio (HR): 2.15, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42-3.24), preoperative care needs level of ≥3 (HR: 2.43, 95% CI: 1.17-5.06), and HFRS (HR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.03-1.12) were significant predictors of mortality. Functional decline-free survival significantly differed among HFRS categories (event-free survival at two years; low: 79.4%, intermediate: 75.2%, high: 50.8%; log-rank p = 0.001).
conclusionsThe HFRS is a predictor of long-term mortality after TAVR in the late elderly and is associated with postoperative functional decline. The HFRS can provide additional information for decision-making regarding treatment strategies for the late elderly.
