Smoking and 10-year risk of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events after contemporary coronary stenting.

ABSTRACT: The impact of smoking cessation on long-term clinical outcomes after contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not well known. We estimated the association of smoking and smoking cessation on the 10-year risk of cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular events in patients after contemporary PCI in a multicenter retrospective cohort of all patients having PCI with second generation drug-eluting stents in the VA Healthcare System between 2008 and 2016. Smoking status, comorbidities and clinical outcomes were extracted from the medical record and the National Death Index. Hazard ratios and 95 % confidence intervals (HR, 95 %CI) were derived from Cox Proportional Hazards Models. Estimates of events prevented from smoking cessation were derived from the differences in absolute risks
