The aim of this study was to evaluate TAVI care in all patients undergoing such procedures in Sweden using the ESC 2023 QIs for TAVI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used the Swedish Transcatheter Cardiac Intervention Registry to identify all TAVI procedures performed in Swedish centres (n = 8) between 2008 and 2021. 8524 patients (median 82 years, 52.8% male) were included. In total, 24 (88.8%) of the 27 QIs could be captured from the available registry data. The attainment levels were generally high [median 97.8%, interquartile range (IQR) 91.3\u2013100%] with small variations in attainment levels between centres. The greatest variations were observed in the QIs related to patients undergoing TAVI through transfemoral route (median 90.3%, IQR 85.6\u201396.9%), and in the proportion undergoing transfemoral TAVI without general anaesthesia (median 87.6%, IQR 57.1\u201394.4%). In total, 80% of the QIs were associated with 1-year all-cause mortality, and 85% with 1-year cardiovascular mortality. The QIs with greatest impact on 1-year mortality were the absence of coronary obstruction (adjusted HR 0.12; 95% CI 0.07\u20130.22), in-hospital stroke (adjusted HR 0.25; 95% CI 0.18\u20130.33) and no new dialysis (adjusted HR 0.25; 95% CI 0.15\u20130.41).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, the majority of the QIs were associated with both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Hence, the ESC 2023 QIs for TAVI may serve as a valuable tool for evaluating TAVI care, benchmarking performance, and improving patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
