Article Synopsis
- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is widely used to treat severe aortic stenosis, but access to this treatment shows socioeconomic disparities that could affect patient outcomes.
- A study of over 4,100 patients in Ontario found that higher levels of residential instability were linked to an increased risk of death and hospital readmission one year after the procedure, highlighting a significant health risk associated with this social factor.
- The research indicates that while residential instability impacts TAVR outcomes, factors like material deprivation and racial or ethnic concentration didn’t show a significant relationship, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to support disadvantaged patients.
