The effect of coronary stent policies on the risk of percutaneous coronary intervention among acute coronary syndrome patients in Shanghai: Real-world evidence.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to analyze the effect of coronary stent policies implemented in Shanghai on the risk of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) inpatients based on real-world data.

Methods

Two retrospective cohorts of inpatients with a first diagnosis of ACS who had undergone PCI for the first time in the previous year in Shanghai hospitals were examined (one for the postpolicy period and the other for the prepolicy period). χ2 tests were used to compare categorical variables between the two cohorts. Single- and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to compare the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) between the two cohorts.

Results

A total of 31,760 ACS patients were included in this study.
