Short-term Deaths After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Discharge: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Hospital Risk-Adjusted Mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about patients who die shortly after discharge following any procedures, including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Our aim was to explore the implications of using 30-day deaths after discharge as part of a quality measure for PCI.

Methods

New York State's PCI registry was used to find PCI deaths that occurred after discharge within 30 days of the procedure from January 1, 2015, to November 30, 2017. Patient risk factors and hospital risk-adjusted 30-day mortality before and after discharge were also investigated.

Results

A total of 2121 (1.55%) patients who underwent PCI died within 30 days of the index procedure, and 730 (34.4%) deaths occurred after discharge, with 30% of deaths after discharge (10% of all deaths) occurring duri
