Minimally Invasive Approaches Versus Conventional Sternotomy for Aortic Valve Replacement: A Propensity Score Matching Study
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate our institutional results of the aortic valve replacement through minimally invasive approaches compared with conventional sternotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS From August 1997 to July 2010, 838 patients underwent primary isolated aortic valve replacement. Of them, 73 patients underwent surgery through minimally invasive approaches (MIAS group) whe...
متن کاملConsequences of Traffic Accidents Transferred by Helicopter and Ground Ambulance: Propensity Score Matching
Introduction: The main task of the emergency medical system is to provide primary care and transfer the injured to a medical center. Studies have been conducted to investigate the outcome of helicopter and ground ambulance casualties, but they show different results. These different results may be due to the type of study, statistical methods, differences in pre-hospital emergency systems, an...
متن کاملPropensity score matching in randomized clinical trials.
Cluster randomization trials with relatively few clusters have been widely used in recent years for evaluation of health-care strategies. On average, randomized treatment assignment achieves balance in both known and unknown confounding factors between treatment groups, however, in practice investigators can only introduce a small amount of stratification and cannot balance on all the important...
متن کاملMinisternotomy versus conventional sternotomy for aortic valve replacement: matched propensity score analysis of 808 patients.
OBJECTIVES The proportion of minimally invasive approaches is rising in cardiac surgery, in part driven by increasing patient demand. This study aimed to perform a risk-adjusted comparison of mortality, rate of stroke and perioperative morbidity of aortic valve replacement (AVR) conducted through either partial mini-sternotomy or conventional sternotomy. METHODS Between July 2009 and July 201...
متن کاملPropensity score matching for surgical outcomes with observational data
PROPENSITY SCORE MATCHING FOR SURGICAL OUTCOMES WITH OBSERVATIONAL DATA Robert M. Cannon, 3/26/2012 Because of limitations in randomized controlled trials, medical researchers are often forced to rely upon studies of observational data. Confounding is a major difficulty encountered in such studies that can create considerable bias in estimates of treatment effects. Propensity score analysis was...
