INTRODUCTION: Selection in patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR) to identify responders to interventions is challenging. In these patients, frailty might be used as a multidimensional parameter to summarize the resilience to stressors. Our objective was to evaluate frailty as a predictor of outcome in patients with moderate to severe secondary MR.
METHODS: We conducted a single-center retrospective observational cohort study and included 239 patients with moderate to severe secondary MR aged 65 years or older between 2014 and 2020. Echocardiography was performed at baseline; frailty was evaluated using the clinical frailty scale (CFS). The combined primary endpoint was hospitalization for heart failure and all-cause mortality.
RESULTS: A total of 53% (127) of all patients were classified as CFS 4 (living with mild frailty) or higher. Frail patients had a higher risk for the combined endpoint (hazard ratio, HR 3.70, 95% confidence interval, CI 2.12-6.47; p < 0.001), 1‑year mortality (HR 5.94, 95% CI 1.76-20.08; p < 0.001) even after adjustment for EuroSCORE2. The CFS was predictive for the combined endpoint (AUC 0.69, 95% CI 0.62-0.75) and outperformed EuroSCORE2 (AUC 0.54, 95% CI 0.46-0.62; p = 0.01). In sensitivity analyses, we found that frailty was associated with adverse outcomes at least in trend in all subgroups.
CONCLUSION: For older, medically treated patients with moderate to severe secondary mitral regurgitation, frailty is an independent predictor for the occurrence of death and heart failure-related readmission within 1 year and outperformed the EuroSCORE2. Frailty should be assessed routinely in patients with heart failure to guide clinical decision making for mitral valve interventions or conservative treatment.
