Abstract
Introduction Current guidelines generally recommend a strategy of watchful waiting until indications for aortic valve replacement (AVR) emerge in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), (1,2) because the potential [...]
Aims Early aortic valve replacement (AVR) might be beneficial in selected high-risk asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), considering their poor prognosis when managed conservatively. This study aimed to develop and validate a clinical scoring system to predict AS-related events within1yearafterdiagnosisinasymptomaticsevereASpatients. Methods and results We analysed 1274 asymptomatic severe AS patients derived from a retrospective multicentre registry enrolling consecutive patients with severe AS in Japan (CURRENT AS registry), who were managed conservatively and completed 1-year follow-up without AVR. From a randomly assigned derivation set (N = 849), we developed CURRENT AS risk score for the AS-related event (a composite of AS-related death and heart failure hospitaliza-tion) within 1 year using a multivariable logistic regression model. The risk score comprised independent risk predictors including left ventricular ejection fraction 2 than in patients with score 4: 22.7%, P < 0.001). Conclusion The CURRENT-AS risk score integrating clinical and echocardiographic factors well-predicted the risk of AS-related events at 1 year in asymptomatic patients with severe AS and was validated internally.
