Consistent research lines along time, as mentioned in a previous paragraph (outco-
Highlights
mes evaluation and effectiveness evaluation in cardiovascular interventions), have

been prominent feature of our Unit. Therefore, the action that we take as the
most relevant for 2013 has been to be able to develop and carry out a project

such as the TEVAS(FIS: PI10/369) study, which 1) Represents a combination of

the two mentioned research lines into a single project; the choice of this project,
on the other hand, represents an issue of the utmost relevance for the present

times (a cost/effectiveness evaluation of a therapeutic innovation such as the
percutaneous aortic valve replacement); and 2) Represents an endeavor towards

multidisciplinary work, as it implies the coordination within the research group of

clinical cardiologists, interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, in addition
to other professionals, such as neurologists, psychologists, economists and nurses

from several centers and institutions.

On the other hand, the activity of the Unit has widened, within the mentioned
research lines, to the design of a study using large databases (FIS PI13/00399

(2014 -16). This represents a contribution, new in our area, to an endeavor for

merging databases from different health institutions. The Unit evolution towards
multidisciplinary activity has evolved in 2013 into the cooperation with different

Spanish Internal Medicine and Infectious diseases Services in a project aiming at

the development of a risk score in patients with infective endocarditis undergoing
surgical valve replacement.

The three mentioned activities show the way how our Unit has undergone a qua- 20

litative growth during 2013.
