Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Frailty Assessments Before and After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI): A Review of Current Evidence.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a paradigm shift in the treatment of elderly and frail patients with severe aortic stenosis, offering a minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgical aortic valve replacement. As the indications for TAVI expand to include lower-risk patients, there is a growing need for sophisticated patient assessment methodologies that capture the complex interplay between physical and functional status, quality of life, and treatment outcomes. This review aims to synthesize the current evidence on the use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and frailty assessments before and after TAVI, with a focus on their utility in predicting treatment outcomes and improving patient-centered care. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify studies published in peer-reviewed journals that investigated the use of PROMs and frailty assessments in the context of TAVI. The review found that PROMs and frailty assessments are increasingly being used to evaluate the pre- and post-procedural status of patients undergoing TAVI. These assessments have been shown to predict treatment outcomes, including mortality, morbidity, and quality of life, and to inform treatment decisions. The review also highlights the importance of integrating PROMs and frailty assessments into routine clinical practice to optimize patient outcomes and improve patient-centered care. In conclusion, this review demonstrates the growing body of evidence supporting the use of PROMs and frailty assessments in the context of TAVI. By incorporating these assessments into routine clinical practice, healthcare providers can better identify patients at risk of poor outcomes, optimize treatment strategies, and improve patient-centered care. Future research should focus on developing and validating PROMs and frailty assessments that are specific to the TAVI population and on exploring the impact of these assessments on treatment outcomes and healthcare utilization.
