Impact of Body Mass Index on Perioperative and Long-term Prognosis of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis
Objectives:To investigate the effect of body mass index(BMI)on perioperative and long-term prognosis of patients with severe aortic stenosis(AS)after transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR).Methods:This retrospective study imcluded 180 patients with severe AS who received TAVR in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022.According to the BMI,patients were divided into four groups:low weight group(BMI<18.5 kg/m2,n=23),normal weight group(18.5 kg/m2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m2,n=65),overweight group(24.0 kg/m2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m2,n=57),obesity group(BMI≥28.0 kg/m2,n=35).The general clinical characteristics,imaging parameters,perioperative indexes,all-cause death and the incidence of other adverse cardiac events during(18.0±6.8)months follow-up were compared among different groups.Risk factors for the perioperative complications and long-term outcomes of TAVR were evaluated.Results:The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,ventricular septal thickness and left ventricular posterior wall thickness were significantly higher in the obese group than in normal weight group(all P<0.05).The level of prealbumin in low weight group was lower than in normal weight group(P<0.05).The total perioperative complications in low weight group were higher than in normal weight group(60.9%vs.12.3%,P=0.042).During(18.0±6.8)months follow-up,the incidence of all-cause death in the low weight group was significantly higher than that in normal weight group,overweight group and obese group(17.4%vs.4.6%vs.3.5%vs.5.7%,P=0.003).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis evidenced higher mortality rate in low weight group at 18 months after TAVR(log-rank P<0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of long-term adverse cardiovascular events was significantly higher in low weight group than in normal weight group(HR=7.633,95%CI:1.012-57.564,P=0.049).Conclusions:Low weight patients with severe AS have a higher incidence of perioperative complications and a poor long-term prognosis.Such patients should appropriately strengthen their nutritional intake and adjust their body weight to normal levels before performing TAVR.
