OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the impact of mental illness on first-time transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and repeat TAVR (viv-AVR) outcomes including postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF/AFL), as well as trends over time. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using de-identified data reports from the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database from 2005-2018, multivariate logistics models were used to predict endpoints including POAF, the Society of Cardiothoracic surgeon (STS) endpoint (MM), and 30-day readmission (READMIT) in patients with and without mental illness. The TAVR procedure was approved for high-risk patients after 2012, and intermediate-risk patients after 2016, indicting a need to analyze the two populations separately. Multivariate analysis was only conducted on the first-time TAVR patients because of the small n in the viv-TAVR population. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: After 2012, 13.05% (1,810/13,870) of patients undergoing TAVR and 20.83% (15/72) undergoing viv-TAVR were diagnosed with a mental illness before the procedure. After 2016, 15.59% (1,485/9,524) TAVR patients and 20.00% (11/55) viv-TAVR patients had a preoperative diagnosis of mental illness. Multivariate analysis showed that mentally ill patients did not have significant differences in rates of POAF, 30-day readmission, and 30-day composite outcomes when compared to patients without mental illnesses following TAVR procedures after 2012 and 2016. Patients with POAF after both 2012 and 2016 were significantly less likely to be mentally ill, Black, and Hispanic. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Of the mentally ill patients who underwent TAVR, there was no significant difference in short-term outcomes after 2012 vs. 2016, compared to patients without mental illnesses. The small number of mentally ill patients undergoing TAVR may point to provider bias as a contributor to this high selectivity, and further evaluation would be of clinical use.
