Outcomes in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by in-hospital cardiac arrest based on management strategy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are limited data on in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) complicating non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) based on management strategy.

Methods

We used National Inpatient Sample (2000-2017) to identify adults with NSTEMI (not undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting) and concomitant IHCA. The cohort was stratified based on use of early (hospital day 0) or delayed (≥hospital day 1) coronary angiography (CAG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and medical management. Outcomes included incidence of IHCA, in-hospital mortality, adverse events, length of stay, and hospitalization costs.

Results

Of 6,583,662 NSTEMI admissions, 375,873 (5.7 %) underwent early CAG, 1,133,143 (17.2 %) received delayed CAG, 2,326,391 (35.3 %) underwen
