We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the mortality and morbidity risk associated with RVI compared with those without RVI in patients with TTS. A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed and Embase from inception to April 19, 2019. Our primary outcome of interest was in-hospital and long-term mortality. Other outcomes of interest were acute heart failure, left ventricular systolic function, tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, and length of hospital stay (LOS). We are reporting our outcomes as a cumulative odds ratio (OR). After an initial search, 10 studies with 1210 subjects were included in the quantitative analysis. Mean follow-up was 31 months. The odds of in-hospital and long-term mortality in TTS patients with and without RVI were not significantly different (p = 0.13 and 0.40). In TTS patients without RVI, the odds of acute heart failure, and mitral and tricuspid regurgitation were significantly lower at an OR of 0.26 (p less then 0.0001), 0.40 (p = 0.0001), and 0.52 (p = 0.02) respectively. TTS patients with RVI had significantly lower mean LVEF (34% vs 41%, p = 0.03) and numerically higher mean LOS (9.5 days vs 7.6 days, p = 0.52) compared with those without RVI. The presence of RVI represents a severe form of TTS disease spectrum, characterized by severely reduced LVEF, higher incidence of MR and presence of TR. Although there was a trend toward increased in-hospital and long-term mortality, RVI in TTS does not portend worse survival.Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the benefits of vision training with visual evoked potentials (VEP) biofeedback in amblyopia after the critical period in 8 to 17-year (11.5 ± 3.1) old children. Methods Ten participants with monocular amblyopia after the critical period underwent a 10-week, 20-session vision train
