Abstract

Background: Improving health related quality of life is an important goal of aortic valve replacement. Inadequate effective orifice area of prosthesis according to the patient's body surface area may be associated with poor outcomes. In this study, we aimed to analyze impact of indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) on patients' quality of life after aortic valve replacement.

Methods: A total of 138 patients who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement were included to the study. Quality of life assessment was performed with EuroQol Group EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Patients were divided into three groups based on iEOA (Group 1 had an iEOA of <0.65 cm2/m2 (19 patients), Group 2 had an iEOA between 0.65-0.85 cm2/m2 (71 patients), and Group 3 had an iEOA of >0.85 cm2/m2). Mean EQ-5D-5L scores were compared among the groups statistically.

Results: Mean EQ-5D-5L scores were lower in Group 1 than in Groups 2 and 3 (Group 1: 0.72 ± 0.18, Group 2: 0.83 ± 0.20, and Group 3: 0.86 ± 0.9, p = 0.044 and p = 0.014). The EQ-5D-5L score was significantly lower in patients with a ≥20 mmHg transvalvular gradient than those with a <20 mmHg (0.74 ± 0.25 vs. 0.84 ± 0.18, p = 0.014).

Conclusions: Our results show that an iEOA <0.65 cm2/m2 is significantly associated with impaired postoperative health-related quality of life. Newer generation prostheses, transcatheter valve implantation, and root enlargement techniques should be kept in mind in preoperative planning.

指数有效孔面积对主动脉瓣置换术后患者生活质量的影响。

背景:改善与健康相关的生活质量是主动脉瓣置换术的重要目标。根据患者体表面积，假体的有效孔口面积不足可能与不良预后相关。在本研究中，我们旨在分析指数有效孔面积(iEOA)对主动脉瓣置换术后患者生活质量的影响。方法:138例接受孤立主动脉瓣置换术的患者被纳入研究。采用EuroQol Group EQ-5D-5L问卷进行生活质量评估。根据iEOA分为三组(第一组iEOA为0.85 cm2/m2)。各组间EQ-5D-5L平均评分比较有统计学意义。结果:1组患者EQ-5D-5L平均评分低于2、3组(1组:0.72±0.18,2组:0.83±0.20,3组:0.86±0.9,p = 0.044, p = 0.014)。经瓣梯度≥20 mmHg患者的EQ-5D-5L评分明显低于经瓣梯度≥20 mmHg患者
