Kinesiophobia and its associated factors among patients after transcatheter aortic valve replacement: a cross-sectional study based on latent profile analysis.

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
backgroundKinesiophobia, a significant barrier to daily activities, may contribute to adverse outcomes in patients following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study aimed to assess the prevalence and identify factors associated with kinesiophobia in post-TAVR patients.
methodsFrom January to December 2023, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sampling method, involving patients from the cardiology department of a hospital in China. The study utilized several instruments: a general information questionnaire, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-SV Heart), the Lubben Social Network Scale-6 (LSNS-6), the Exercise Social Support Scale (ESSS), the Physical Activity Rank Scale (PARS-3) and the Self-Efficacy for Exercise Scale (SEE). Latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed to classify patients into latent subgroups based on their levels of kinesiophobia. Additionally, multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the influencing factors of kinesiophobia among patients with varying characteristics.
resultsThis study included a total of 290 participants. Based on the assessment of kinesiophobia, three profile models were identified by LPA: a high-level kinesiophobia group (21 participants, 7.2%), a moderate-level kinesiophobia group (189 participants, 65.2%), and a low-level kinesiophobia group (80 participants, 27.6%). Factors influencing the levels of kinesiophobia across the three latent profiles included education level, aortic stenosis flow type, number of comorbidities, postoperative NYHA cardiac function classification, preoperative physical activity level, social networks, and exercise self-efficacy.
conclusionKinesiophobia levels in patients after transcatheter aortic valve replacement exhibit significant heterogeneity, primarily influenced by factors such as education level, aortic stenosis flow type, number of comorbidities, postoperative NYHA cardiac function classification, preoperative physical activity level, social networks, and exercise self-efficacy. In the future, healthcare professionals should identify postoperative patients at risk for kinesiophobia and consider the multifaceted factors affecting this condition. It is essential to encourage and stimulate patients' thoughts about exercise and to provide targeted intervention strategies to reduce their levels of postoperative kinesiophobia.
