Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation or number (%).
COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; E2E = edge-to-edge repair; IPTW = inverse probability of treatment weighting; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; NYHA = New York Heart Association; OHS = open heart surgery; SMD = standardized mean difference; TAD = tricuspid annular diameter; TVR = tricuspid valve replacement.
*Counts in the weighted cohort may not sum to the expected totals due to rounding. Percentages may not total 100 because of rounding, and disagreements between numbers and percentages in the weighted cohort are the result of rounding of noninteger number values.
