The adequacy of published reports for providing valid information on the risk of thromboembolism after valvular heart operations is questioned, and this concern is supported by a review of recently published reports of the late results of such operations. None of the 51 reports sampled was considered completely adequate. The average rating for the reports, on a scale of 0 to 17, was only 7.6. Investigations will need to be improved in the future if this extremely important consideration in choosing the correct procedure for managing valvular heart disease is to be properly addressed.
关于已发表报告能否提供有关心脏瓣膜手术后血栓栓塞风险的有效信息受到质疑，对近期此类手术远期结果的报告回顾也证实了这一担忧。所抽取的51份报告中没有一份被认为是完全充分的。这些报告的平均评分（0至17分制）仅为7.6分。如果要妥善解决在选择正确的心脏瓣膜病治疗方案时这一极其重要的考量因素，未来的研究需要加以改进。
