Stehli et al conducted a follow-up study to evaluate the short- and mid-term outcomes
of 71 nonagenarians after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
1
At 1 year, odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of nonagenarians against
<90-year-old patients for living in an aged-care facility was 5.99 (2.62 to 13.67).
I have some concerns regarding their study.- Stehli J
