Association of Frailty With In-hospital and Long-term Outcomes Among STEMI Patients Receiving Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frailty is generally a marker of worse prognosis. The impact of frailty on both in-hospital and long-term outcomes in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients has not been well described. Given this context, we aimed to determine the prevalence and impact of frailty on in-hospital and 1-year outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed STEMI patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent pPCI at 1 of the 2 pPCI-capable hospitals at Vancouver Coastal Health. A frailty index (FI) was determined using a deficit-accumulation model, with those with an FI > 0.25 being defined as frail. The primary outcome was 1-year all-cause mortality. The secondary outcomes included in-hos
