Background: Presently, the availability of single-stage surgical correction of mitral valve disease combined with atrial fibrillation (AF) via a mini-access approach remains limited. Moreover, the comparative effectiveness of this procedure versus conventional sternotomy (CS) remains poorly understood. Thus, this study aimed to conduct a comparative assessment of the efficacy and safety of concomitant mitral valve surgery and AF ablation via a minimally invasive approach (minimally invasive cardiac surgery, MICS group) versus the standard sternotomy approach (CS group).

Measurement appropriateness concerns the question of whether the test or survey scale under consideration can provide a valid measure for a specific individual. An aberrant item response pattern would provide internal counterevidence against using the test/scale for this person, whereas a more typical item response pattern would imply a fit of the measure to the person. Traditional approaches, including the popular Lz person fit statistic, are hampered by their two-stage estimation procedure and the fact that the fit for the person is determined based on the model calibrated on data that include the misfitting persons.
