Martin E, et al. – The Technical Performance Score (TPS) has been shown to be predictive of postoperative mortality, morbidities and reinterventions following various cardiac procedures in children. Researchers here tested their hypothesis that TPS is also a predictor of mitral valve repair outcomes. Observations proved TPS as a strong predictor of midterm mortality and post–discharge mitral reintervention in congenital patients who underwent mitral repair.
