ABSTRACT
Aim:
This study evaluated how the presence of right-sided heart disease (RSHD), other valve disease (OVD) and heart failure (HF) impacts healthcare utilization in patients with tricuspid valve disease (tricuspid regurgitation [TR]). Materials &methods:
Of the 33,686 patients with TR 6618 (19.6%) had TR-only; 8952 (26.6%) had TR with HF; 12,367 (36.7%) had TR with OVD but no HF; and 5749 (17.1%) had TR with RSHD only.Results:
The presence of RSHD, OVD or HF in patients with TR was independently associated with increased annualized hospitalizations, hospital days and costs relative to patients with TR alone.Conclusion:
All three co-morbidities were associated with increased healthcare utilization, with HF showing the greatest impact across all measures.Palabras clave
