Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) represents a notable risk factor after surgical and interventional procedures but data on the influence of DM on long-term survival after Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair (TEER) for Mitral valve Regurgitation (MR) are sparse. Purpose To compare the outcome of patients with and without DM after TEER. Methods Retrospective monocentric assessment of patients after successful treatment of MR by TEER (exclusion of combined forms of transcatheter repair) between 06/2010 and 03/2018. Patients were stratified for DM at baseline and observed regarding mortality during follow-up. Cox regression analyses were performed for survival analyses. Results 627 patients (47.0% females, 88.2% aged ≥70 years) and among these 174 subjects with DM (27.3%) were included with a median follow-up period of 486 days [IQR 157–916 days]). Within the investigation period, 20 patients (3.2%) were lost to follow-up. Patients with DM more often presented severe comorbidities like obesity (27.3% vs. 9.2%, p<0.001), arterial hypertension (91.4% vs. 83.7%, p=0.013), renal insufficiency (63.8% vs. 43.9%, p<0.001), coronary artery disease (77.0% vs. 59.8%, p<0.001) or peripheral artery disease (14.4% vs. 8.4%, p=0.026) and had a higher median logistic Euroscore I (29.4% [20.0/43.0] vs. 25.0% [16.7/36.6], p=0.001) as well as reduced systolic function (LVEF 35% [30/50] vs. 45% [30/55], p<0.001). No statistical differences in short- and long-term survival were detected between patients with and without DM (in-hospital mortality 1.7 vs. 2.6%, p=0.771; at 30-days 5.0 vs. 6.0%, p=0.842, 1-year 28.7 vs. 25.0%, p=0.419, 3-years 49.2 vs. 44.1%, p=0.554, 5-years 69.0 vs. 68.3%, p=0.497). By calculating cox regression analyses, DM was not predictive for a higher mortality, even after adjustment for other risk factors (HR 1-year 1.17 [95% CI 0.80–1.71], p=0.419; HR long-term 1.13 [95% CI 0.86–1.49], p=0.373) in the total cohort, as well as after stratification for the underlying mitral valve pathology (functional MR: 1-year HR 0.99 [95% CI 0.01–1.62], p=0.969, long-term HR 0.903 [95% CI 0.63–1.29, p=0.571; primary MR: 1-year HR 1.48 [95% CI 0.66–3.35, p=0.344, long-term HR1.66 [95% CI 0.89–3.09], p=0.110). Conclusions Even though DM-patients presented with a more vulnerable clinical profile, no relevant differences in short- and long-term mortality after TEER for MR were found. Although being factored in most common risk scores, DM could not be associated with an adverse prognosis after transcatheter therapy of MR. FUNDunding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.

Abstract Background Mitral valve regurgitation (MR) is a frequent heart valve disorder affecting 1–2% of the humans in the general population and over 10% of the individuals older than 75 years. While a symptomatic and prognostic benefit of transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for MR (TMVR) was reported, data regarding long-term outcome as well as influence of concomitant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are sparse. Purpose We aimed to investigate the impact of periinterventional development of TR on survival of patients undergoing interventional edge-to-edge repair for MR in a large retrospective monocentric study. Methods We retrospectively analyzed survival of patients successfully treated with isolated edge-to-edge repair for MR from 06/2010–03/2018 (exclusion of combined forms of TMVR) in our center. Baseline, periprocedural as well as follow-up data were gathered. Concomitant TR was evaluated at baseline and after 30 days and categorized from grades 0 (no TR) to grade III (severe TR). We analyzed the influence of severe vs. non-severe TR on 30-day, 1-year and long-term survival. Results Overall, 627 consecutive patients (47.0% female, 57.4% functional MR) were enrolled. Median follow-up time was 462 days [IQR 142–945]. Survival status was available in 96.7%. Survival rates were 97.6% at discharge, 75.7% after 1, 54.5% after 3, 37.6% after 5 and 21.7% after 7 years. TR at baseline (examination results were available in 92.3%) was categorized as severe TR in 25.6%, medium TR in 33.3%, mild TR in 35.1% and no TR in 6.0%. TR at 1 month (examination results were available in 81.1%) was severe in 16.7%, medium in 30.2%, mild in 45.6% and no TR was found in 7.4%; improvement by at least 1 TR-grade was documented in 33.6% of the patients. While a severe (compared to non-severe) TR at baseline did not affect the 30-day mortality (7.4% vs. 5.2%, p=0.354), 1-year survival was substantially impaired in those patients (36.5% vs. 23.0%, p=0.012). Accordingly, severe TR was not associated with 30d-mortality (as evaluated by univariate Cox regression, p=0.340), but with 1-year survival (HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.19–2.65, p=0.005) and showed a trend towards impaired long-term survival (HR 1.30, 95% CI 0.96–1.76, p=0.089). While residual severe TR at one month did not influence 1-year-mortality significantly (p=0.478), improvement of TR demonstrated a trend to better survival after the first year (86.9 vs. 81.0%, p=0.208) confirmed in the Cox regression analysis (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.36–1.22, p=0.188). Conclusions In this large retrospective monocentric study with a long-term follow-up-period of >7 years after edge-to-edge therapy for MR, we demonstrated that severe TR at the time of the intervention had an impact on 1-year-survival. Furthermore, a missing periinterventional improvement of TR was shown to be unfavorable regarding the long-term survival of these patients. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background To evaluate associations between diabetes mellitus (DM) coexisting with hyperlipidemia and mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study with 2939 incident PD patients in China from January 2005 to December 2018. Associations between the DM coexisting with hyperlipidemia and mortality were evaluated using the Cox regression. Results Of 2939 patients, with a median age of 50.0 years, 519 (17.7%) died during the median of 35.1 months. DM coexisting with hyperlipidemia, DM, and hyperlipidemia were associated with 1.93 (95% CI 1.45 to 2.56), 1.86 (95% CI 1.49 to 2.32), and 0.90 (95% CI 0.66 to 1.24)-time higher risk of all-cause mortality, compared with without DM and hyperlipidemia, respectively (P for trend < 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed a similar pattern. Among DM patients, hyperlipidemia was as a high risk of mortality as non-hyperlipidemia (hazard ratio 1.02, 95%CI 0.73 to 1.43) during the overall follow-up period, but from 48-month follow-up onwards, hyperlipidemia patients had 3.60 (95%CI 1.62 to 8.01)-fold higher risk of all-cause mortality than those non-hyperlipidemia (P interaction = 1.000). Conclusions PD patients with DM coexisting with hyperlipidemia were at the highest risk of all-cause mortality, followed by DM patients and hyperlipidemia patients, and hyperlipidemia may have an adverse effect on long-term survival in DM patients.

6046 Background: The role of intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy in the management of advanced ovarian cancer has been questioned given emerging evidence showing lack of survival benefits. The objective of this study was to compare the long-term survival associated with IP chemotherapy at a tertiary cancer center. Methods: We reviewed the long-term survival records of 271 women with stage IIIC or IV high-grade serous ovarian cancer treated with primary cytoreductive surgery (PCS) followed by IP or intravenous (IV) chemotherapy between 2001-2015 with a minimum follow-up of 4 years. 5-year progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and covariates were evaluated using Cox regression analysis. Results: Women who received IP chemotherapy after PCS (n = 91) were more likely to have undergone aggressive surgery (p < 0.001), longer surgery (p < 0.001), and had no residual disease (p < 0.001) compared to the IV arm (n = 180). Median follow-up was 51.6 months. Five-year PFS was 19% vs. 18% (p = 0.63) and OS was 73% vs. 44% (p = 0.00016) in the IP vs. IV arms, respectively. After controlling for covariates in a multivariable model, the use of IP was no longer a significant predictor of OS in the entire cohort (p = 0.12). In patients with 0mm residual disease, PFS was 28% vs. 26% (p = 0.67) and OS was 81% vs. 60% (p = 0.059) in IP (n = 61) vs. IV (n = 69), respectively. In patients with residual of 1-9mm, PFS was 30% vs. 48% (p = 0.076) and OS was 60% vs. 43% (p = 0.74) in IP (n = 29) vs. IV (n = 31), respectively. Conclusions: IP chemotherapy showed a trend towards improved survival over conventional IV chemotherapy, especially in patients with no residual disease. Given the retrospective nature and small numbers in this study, prospective non-randomized cohort studies are warranted to evaluate the role of IP chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer.

Introduction: Earlier studies have shown that re-operation for bleeding after cardiac surgery is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in both acute and elective patients. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of re-operation for bleeding on short- and long-term survival and the causes of re-operation on an exclusively elective population. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective study conducted at the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Copenhagen University Hospital. Rigshospitalet, Denmark. We included all elective patients undergoing first-time coronary bypass, valve surgery or combinations hereof between January 1998 and February 2014. Data was obtained from the electronic patient records on demographics, cardiological risk profile, blood transfusion and surgical record. Results: A total of 11813 patients were included in the analysis of whom 626 (5.3%) patients underwent re-operation for bleeding. Patients were divided into two groups; non re-operated (NRO) and re-operated(RO). Baseline characteristics were comparable. Median survival was lover in the RO group (142 vs 160months (P = 0.001)). Morbidity and 30 day mortality was significantly higher in the RO group. Cox-regression analysis showed a significantly increased age-adjusted risk of death in the RO group (HR 1.21(1.07-1.37). P = 0.003). In 85% of the patients the site of bleeding was found during the re-operation. Conclusion: We found both short and long-term survival to be lower in the RO group. A surgical cause for re-operation was found in the majority of cases. The study shows the importance of meticulous hemostasis during cardiac surgery.

Abstract Aim To identify predictors for anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy and to determine the influence of anastomotic leakage on short-term and long-term survival. Background and methods Identifying predictors of anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy may contribute to its prevention. The influence of anastomotic leakage on long-term survival is unclear. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in consecutive patients who underwent an esophagectomy with reconstruction in the Amsterdam UMC, location AMC, between January 1993 and January 2019. Logistic regression and Cox regression models were used to assess predictors for anastomotic leakage and to assess survival. Results 1747 patients were included, of which 326 (18.7%) developed anastomotic leakage. Independent predictors of cervical anastomotic leakage were diabetes mellitus, cT4-stage and a gastroesophageal junction tumor. ASA grade 3-5, a non-radical resection, pT2-stage, pN+ and hand sewn anastomosis were independent predictors of intrathoracic anastomotic leakage (table 1). 30-day mortality was 2% in patients without, and 4% of patients with anastomotic leakage (p=0.076). Anastomotic leakage did not significantly influence long-term survival when corrected for confounders (HR 0.96 95%CI 0.81 – 1.14, p=0.618). Conclusion Independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage after esophagectomy are diabetes mellitus, cT4-stage and a gastroesophageal junction tumor for cervical anastomosis, and ASA grade 3-5, a non-radical resection, pT2-stage, pN+ and hand sewn anastomosis for intrathoracic anastomosis. 30-day mortality was higher in the anastomotic leakage group. We found no correlation between anastomotic leakage and long term survival.

Abstract Background The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a simple tool to assess the nutritional risk and associated with mortality. However, there are no reports focusing GNRI in peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients. Purpose The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of GNRI for long-term survival, cardiovascular and limb events in PAD patients. Methods A prospective cohort study was performed in 1219 PAD patients. Baseline GNRI was calculated from serum albumin level and body-mass-index. The patients were divided into four groups by GNRI level (G1: >98; G2: 92–98; G3: 82–91; G4: <82). The endpoints were overall survival (OS) and freedom from major adverse cardiovascular and limb events (MACE and MACLE). Results The median follow-up was 73 months. There were 626 deaths (51.4%) during follow-up. The rate of cardiovascular death among dead was 51.3%. The OS rates markedly depended on GNRI level (p<0.01). The 5-year OS rates were G1: 80.8%, G2: 62.0%, G3: 40.0%, G4: 23.3%, respectively. In multivariate analyses, GNRI, age, low ankle brachial pressure index (ABI), low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were independent factors associated with OS (<0.05). GNRI, age, low ABI, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, lower eGFR and higher CRP levels were associated with MACE and MACLE (p<0.05, respectively). Besides, statins improved OS, MACE, and MACLE (<0.01, respectively). Conclusions GNRI was an independent predictor for OS, MACE, and MACLE in PAD patients. Furthermore,statins improved OS, MACE and MACLE in patients with PAD.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) impairs physical status and impacts on mental health. This prospective study was designed to assess associations between mental health and systemic biomarkers, and their combined relationship with long-term survival in stable severe COPD. Methods: Forty-five patients with severe but stable COPD (forced expiratory volume in 1 s of 29.8 (quartiles: 22.6; 41.4) %predicted) were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ), St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The following serum biomarkers were measured: 25-OH-cholecalciferol, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leucocyte number, serum amyloid-A (SA-A), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, troponin I, glycosylated haemoglobin, haemoglobin (Hb), haematocrit (Hc), creatinine and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Patients were followed-up for 36 months. Associations between aspects of mental health and biomarkers, and their utility as predictors of 3-year survival were evaluated by regression analyses. Results: The prevalence of anxiety (HADS-A: 89.9 %), depression (HADS-D: 58.8 %; PHQ: 60.6 %), somatisation (PHQ-15: 81.8 %) and psychosocial stress (PHQ-stress: 60.6 %) was high. There was a significant positive association between the leucocyte count and SA-A level with STAI-trait anxiety (p = 0.03 and p = 0.005, respectively), and between leucocytes and PHQ-stress (p = 0.043). Hb and Hc were significantly negatively associated with HADS-depression (p = 0.041 and p = 0.031, respectively). Univariate Cox regression analyses revealed that leucocyte count (hazard ratio (HR) 2.976, 95 % CI 1.059-8.358; p = 0.038), and stress (HR 4.922, 95 % CI 1.06–22.848; p = 0.042) were linked to long-term survival. In multivariate Cox regression analyses, including known risk factors for survival in COPD, PHQ-stress (HR 45.63, 95 % CI 1.72–1,208.48; p = 0.022) remained significantly associated with survival. Conclusion: In this pilot study different dimensions of mental health were correlated to serum biomarkers, probably reflecting systemic effects of COPD. While leucocyte number and PHQ-stress were associated with long-term survival in univariate analyses, PHQ-stress remained in multivariate analyses as independent prognostic factor.

Abstract Background A symptomatic and prognostic benefit by Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation (MR) has been proven. A variety of individual factors including female sex has been suggested to be associated with adverse outcome in cardio-surgical procedures. Purpose While gender is factored in common risk factor models for adverse outcome, evidence on sex-specific differences in long-term outcome after TEER for MR is limited. We aimed to investigate the impact of gender on prognosis in a large monocentric cohort with long-term follow-up. Methods We analyzed survival stratified for gender after successful isolated edge-to-edge repair of MR in the period between 06/2010 and 03/2018 (exclusion of combined forms of TMVR) in a monocentric retrospective cohort by performing survival analyses and cox regression analyses. Results Consecutively, 627 patients (47.0% females, 57.4% functional MR; survival status was available in 96.7%) entered the study and were followed for a median follow-up period of 462 days [IQR 142–945 days]. Survival rates were 97.6% at discharge, 75.7% after 1, 54.5% after 3, 37.6% after 5 and 21.7% after 7 years. Risk score as calculated by the Logistic Euroscore I did not differ significantly between females and males (at baseline: 25.0 [IQR 18.0/34.8] vs. 27.0 [18.4/40.1]%, p=0.093) and no relevant differences were found for in-hospital (2.0 vs. 2.7%, p=0.613), 30 days (4.8 vs. 6.5%, p=0.473) and 1-year mortality (27.0 vs. 25.3%, p=0.675). At the time of procedure, women were older (79.9 [IQR 75.6/84.4] vs. 78.3 [72.9/83.4] years, p&lt;0.001), were less often affected by coronary artery disease (53.1% vs. 75.0% p&lt;0.001), diabetes mellitus (23.7% vs. 31.3%, p=0.040) and impaired left ventricular function (44.5±12.9% vs. 38.9±13.4%, p&lt;0.001). Regarding long-term survival, women had a better prognosis after MR-therapy, especially in functional etiology: e.g., 4-year survival in FMR 65.7 vs. 35.7%, p=0.006 (Figure 1). Remarkably, female sex was associated with a lower risk for long-term mortality in the Cox-regression models, especially in the FMR subgroup (total cohort: univariate HR 0.81 [0.62–1.04], p=0.101; FMR: univariate HR 0.68 [0.49–0.96], p=0.028). Conclusion In our cohort of patients undergoing TEER for MR, we found no evidence for an impaired short- and mid-term prognosis for female patients. In contrary and not as indicated by Logistic Euroscore, female sex was associated with better long-term survival in comparison to men despite higher median age, which might be partly explained by a slightly more favorable cardiovascular risk profile.
