Introduction: Stroke after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. It increases the risk of mortality threefold, within one year of TAVR. It is also associated with significant disability and increased health care costs. A validated risk prediction tool for stroke one year after TAVR may be useful in risk stratification to guide decisions at the point of clinical care and in research. The objective of this study was to assess the calibration and discriminative ability of the R 2 CHA 2 DS 2 VASc, CHA 2 DS 2 VASc, R 2 CHADS 2 , and CHADS 2 scores for predicting stroke within one year of TAVR. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using data from a midwestern academic center TAVR program. Patients who underwent TAVR from 2012 to the first quarter of 2018 who had one-year follow-up data were included in the study. The model discrimination and calibration were assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (c-statistic) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test respectively. Results: Six hundred and sixty four patients met the inclusion criteria and 3.4% had stroke within one year of undergoing TAVR. They had a median age of 81 years and a mean STS score of 6.3. The R 2 CHA 2 DS 2 VASc, CHA 2 DS 2 VASc, R 2 CHADS 2 , and CHADS 2 scores had c-statistics of 0.591, 0.596, 0.607, and 0.622, respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow χ 2 p-values were 0.762, 0.422, 0.463 and 0.146 respectively. Conclusion: The CHADS 2 score had the best discriminative ability for stroke prediction one year after TAVR. All the four scores were well calibrated.

Introduction. Requirement of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is a known and common postoperative consequence of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The Emory risk score has been recently developed to help risk stratify the need for PPM insertion in patients undergoing TAVR with SAPIEN 3 valves. Our aim was to assess the validity of this risk score in our patient population, as well as its applicability to patients receiving self-expanding valves. Methods. We conducted a retrospective review of 479 TAVR patients without preoperative pacemakers from November 2016 through December 2018. Preoperative risk factors included in the Emory risk score were collected for each patient: preoperative QRS, preoperative right bundle branch block (RBBB), preoperative syncope, and degree of valve oversizing. Multivariable analysis of the individual variables within the scoring system to identify predictors of PPM placement was performed. The predictive discrimination of the risk score for the risk of PPM placement after TAVR was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results. Our results demonstrated that, of the 479 patients analyzed, 236 (49.3%) received balloon-expandable valves and 243 (50.7%) received self-expanding valves. Pacemaker rates were higher in patients receiving self-expanding valves than those receiving balloon-expandable valves (25.1% versus 16.1%, p = 0.018 ). The Emory risk score showed a moderate correlation with pacemaker requirement in patients receiving each valve type, with AUC for balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves of 0.657 and 0.645, respectively. Of the four risk score components, preoperative RBBB was the only predictor of pacemaker requirement with an AUC of 0.615 for both balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves. Conclusion. In our cohort, the Emory risk score had modest predictive utility for PPM insertion after balloon-expandable and self-expanding TAVR. The risk score did not offer better discriminatory utility than that of preoperative RBBB alone. Understanding the determinants of PPM insertion after TAVR can better guide patient education and postoperative management.
