ABSTRACT
Early discharge strategies are associated with lower cost and resource utilization during hospitalization, as such we sought to evaluate trends, predictors and outcomes of the next day discharge (NDD) approach after transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) procedures with the MitraClip device. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried between 2013 and 2018 for patients undergoing TMVR using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9 procedure code '3597' and ICD-10 procedure code '02UG3JZ'. Patients undergoing TMVR were stratified into two groups, determined by hospital length of stay (LOS) [≤1 day, NDD versus >1-day, non-NDD]. Overall, 22,035 patients underwent TMVR with 35.7% (n = 7,870) belonging to the NDD group (mean age 78.1 ± 9.7 years, women 45%). From 2013 to 2018, the proportion of patients being discharged using the NDD approach trended upward from 18.3% to 46.0%. Amongst demographic and social factors, female sex, black race, and low median household income were predictive of non-NDD (p <0.05 for all). Amongst clinical factors, anemia, iron deficiency anemia, major depressive disorder, thrombocytopenia, obesity and end stage renal disease were some predictors of non-NDD (p <0.05 for all). In the non-NDD group there was a downward trend of pooled post-procedure complications, post procedure cardiogenic shock, vascular complications, acute kidney injury, mechanical circulatory support use, acute respiratory distress and postoperative ischemic stroke and (p for trend <0.001 for all). Despite the overall downward trend, complications began increasing in 2017-18. In conclusion, these trends may reflect improving operator experience, advancement in vascular access device closures and techniques, and prioritization of decreasing length of stay. Ideally, the feasibility and safety of this approach should be confirmed in larger-sized multicenter, randomized trials.
