ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular disease in the United States and increases the risk of death and hospitalization. The economic burden of MR in the United States is not known. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
We analyzed inpatient hospitalization data from the 1 221 173 Maryland residents who had any in-state admissions from October 1, 2015, to September 30, 2019. We assessed the total charges for patients without MR and for patients with MR who underwent medical management, transcatheter mitral valve repair or replacement, or surgical mitral valve repair or replacement. During the study period, 26 076 inpatients had a diagnosis of MR. Compared with patients without MR, these patients had more comorbidities and higher inpatient mortality. Patients with medically managed MR incurred average total charges of $23 575 per year; MR was associated with $10 559 more in charges per year and an incremental 3.1 more inpatient days per year as compared with patients without MR. Both surgical mitral valve repair or replacement and transcatheter mitral valve repair or replacement were associated with higher charges as compared with medical management during the year of intervention ($47 943 for surgical mitral valve repair or replacement and $63 108 for transcatheter mitral valve repair or replacement). Annual charges for both groups were significantly lower as compared with medical management in the second and third years postintervention.CONCLUSIONS:
MR is associated with higher mortality and inpatient charges. Patients who undergo surgical or transcatheter intervention incur lower charges compared with medically managed MR patients in the years after the procedure.Palabras clave
