Fully independent external validation of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement 30-day (TAVR-30) hospital readmission model
Abstract
Background
Early and late readmissions after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) are common and associated with worse outcome. A risk prediction model (TAVR-30) was recently developed using readily available clinical variables to identify patients at risk for hospital readmission within 30 days after TAVR. We performed an independent external validation of the TAVR-30 model.
