Objective To systematically evaluate the differences in outcomes between functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) and degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) in patients treated with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) using the MitraClip device. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, the CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP Database, and the CBM from their inception to January 2024. Two researchers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment. The quality of cohort studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software. Results A total of 13 cohort studies involving 6 402 patients were included, comprising 4 161 patients in the FMR group and 2 241 in the DMR group. All included studies had NOS scores of ≥6 points. The meta-analysis revealed that compared to the DMR group, the FMR group had a higher 1-year all-cause mortality rate [OR=1.53, 95%CI (1.30, 1.81), P<0.01] and a higher 1-year rehospitalization rate for heart failure [OR=1.90, 95%CI (1.60, 2.26), P<0.01]. Conversely, the FMR group had a lower post-procedural mean transmitral gradient [SMD=–0.47, 95%CI (–0.65, –0.30), P<0.01] and a lower rate of subsequent mitral valve surgery [OR=0.41, 95%CI (0.20, 0.83), P=0.01]. Conclusion Following MitraClip therapy, patients with FMR exhibit favorable short-term outcomes, but their mid- to long-term outcomes are inferior to those of patients with DMR. When determining the treatment strategy with MitraClip, the specific etiology of mitral regurgitation should be considered for a more accurate prediction of therapeutic efficacy and prognosis.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
