Key result
Delirium after SAVR or TAVI in patients aged ≥80 predicted poorer short-term IADL function at 1 month (SAVR IADL score 42 vs 50, P≤0.02), but not long-term reductions at 6 months.
Why the study?
Does the development of delirium predict physical and cognitive decline in individuals aged 80 and older after SAVR or TAVI?

Delirium after SAVR or TAVI in octogenarians predicts short-term functional decline at 1 month, but does not lead to long-term reductions in physical or cognitive health at 6 months.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Post-procedural delirium may flag higher disability risk in octogenarians after SAVR/TAVI; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective confirmation.
Eide et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Elective SAVR or TAVI (n=136). Delirium vs. No delirium was evaluated on IADL score at 1 month after SAVR (p=≤0.02). Delirium after SAVR or TAVI in patients aged ≥80 predicted poorer short-term IADL function at 1 month (SAVR IADL score 42 vs 50, P≤0.02), but not long-term reductions at 6 months.
