Body Mass Index and 10-Year Clinical Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention-Interaction with Age, Sex, Diabetic Status and Clinical Presentation.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objective: The association of body mass index (BMI) with long-term outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains poorly investigated. We undertook this study to assess the association between BMI and long-term outcomes after PCI. Methods: Overall, 5597 patients with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI were included in the study. Patients were categorized in groups according to the following BMI categories: underweight group (BMI <18.5 kg/m²), normal weight group (BMI 18.5 kg/m² to <25 kg/m²), overweight group (BMI 25 kg/m² to <30 kg/m²) and obesity group (BMI ≥30 kg/m²). The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 10 years. Results: At 10 years, all-cause deaths (p
