The use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for treating aortic stenosis (AS) has increased exponentially in recent years. Despite the availability of clinical practice guidelines for the management of valvular heart disease, disparities in quality of care (QoC) for TAVI patients remain widespread across Europe. Tailored QoC measures will help to reduce resource utilization and improve patient outcomes without compromising patient safety. Using a clear set of QoC measures, the BENCHMARK registry aims to document the progress that can be achieved if such tailored QoC measures are implemented.

为欧洲接受经导管主动脉瓣植入术患者的资源利用和护理质量设定基准——国际 BENCHMARK 注册的基本原理和设计

近年来，经导管主动脉瓣植入术 (TAVI) 用于治疗主动脉瓣狭窄 (AS) 的使用呈指数增长。尽管有瓣膜性心脏病管理的临床实践指南，但 TAVI 患者的护理质量 (QoC) 差异在整个欧洲仍然普遍存在。量身定制的 QoC 措施将有助于在不影响患者安全的情况下降低资源利用率并改善患者治疗效果。BENCHMARK 注册使用一套明确的 QoC 措施，旨在记录如果实施此类定制的 QoC 措施可以取得的进展。
