Adjusted odds of discharge disposition among patients treated at a TAVR center, compared with non‐TAVR center, stratified by TAVR volume. Odds ratios of transfer to skilled nursing facility and death at low volume, medium volume, and high volume TAVR centers. SAVR patients treated at TAVR centers of all volumes had a significantly lower odds of death at discharge as compared with patients at non‐TAVR centers, even after adjusting for hospital and patient characteristics. SAVRs performed at the highest TAVR volume centers also had the lowest inpatient mortality. TAVR centers also had lower rates of discharge to skilled nursing as compared with non‐TAVR centers; however, this was only statistically significant for medium volume centers. SAVR indicates surgical aortic valve replacement; TAVR, transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
