Background: The win ratio analysis method might provide new insight on the impact of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on clinical outcomes.

Objective: The aim is to re-analyse the results of the 'Re-evaluation of the effects of high PEEP with recruitment manoeuvres vs. low PEEP without recruitment manoeuvres during general anaesthesia for surgery' (REPEAT) study using the win ratio analysis.

Design: Individual patient data meta-analysis.

Setting: Three international multicentre randomised trials.

Participants: Patients undergoing general anaesthesia for surgery.

Intervention: High vs. low PEEP.

Main Outcome Measure: Hierarchical composite endpoint of: all-cause hospital mortality; hospital length of stay; need for postoperative mechanical ventilation; severe pulmonary complications; and mild pulmonary complications.

Results: A total of 3774 patients undergoing general anaesthesia for surgery were included in this analysis. The median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 57 [45 to 68] years and 2077 (55%) were women. A total of 3 560 720 comparison pairs were produced. The high PEEP group had a higher percentage of losses than wins in hospital mortality (1.1 vs. 0.9%) and hospital length of stay (33.8 vs. 33.2%), comparable percentages of losses and wins in postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation (0.2 vs. 0.2%), a higher percentage of wins in severe complications (2.5 vs. 2.1%) and a higher percentage of ties in mild complications (18.7 vs. 3.9% wins vs. 3.3% losses). The win ratio for high PEEP compared with low PEEP group was 1.00 (95% CI 0.92 to 1.09).

Conclusion: No beneficial effects of high PEEP compared with low PEEP were found in this win ratio analysis.

Registration: Clinicaltrials.gov (study identifier NCT03937375).

Importance: Correction of tricuspid regurgitation using tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) in addition to guideline-directed optimized medical therapy (OMT) may improve clinical outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of T-TEER + OMT vs OMT alone in patients with severe, symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized (1:1) trial evaluating T-TEER + OMT vs OMT alone in adult patients with severe, symptomatic tricuspid regurgitation.

In heart failure management, hospitalization is the main cause of medical costs and is associated with an increased risk of adverse events. This review reports evidence on hospitalization as the ideal setting for disease-modifying therapy implementation, with a particular focus on gliflozins in patients with stabilized acute heart failure. The authors analyze data from the EMPULSE trial, the largest clinical study that evaluated a gliflozin in acute heart failure in patients with both reduced and preserved systolic function.
