Figure 2. (a) 30-days mortality plot with OR and 95% CI. TAVR has low mortality rates than SAVR. Results were statistically significant. (b) 1-year mortality. TAVR has comparable rates of 1-year mortality as SAVR. OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; TAVR: transcutaneous aortic valve replacement; SAVR: surgical aortic valve replacement.

Figure 3. (a) AKI has comparable results in TAVR and SAVR. (b) Hospital stay, TAVR has better rates than SAVR. AKI: acute kidney injury; TAVR: transcutaneous aortic valve replacement; SAVR: surgical aortic valve replacement.
Figure 4.
Figure 4. Funnel plot for bias of study. There is no significant scatter on the funnel plot which relates to less bias in publication.
