Impact of Coronary Intervention on In-Hospital Mortality in Octogenarians and Nonagenarians, Compared to Elderly Patients Aged < 80 Years with Acute Coronary Syndromes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given that the Australian population is aging, with older patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), its management over the past 20 years is likely to have changed.

Methods

Retrospective observational study from the New South Wales statewide Admission Patient Data Collection database of those aged ≥ 65 years hospitalized for ACS between January 2002 and December 2021. Patients were stratified into 3 age groups: 65-79 years, 80-89 years, ≥ 90 years). Temporal trends of ACS, coronary angiogram (CA), and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and in-hospital mortality were evaluated. Multivariable analysis was used to adjust for baseline profiles and year of admission in mortality analysis.

Results

The study cohort comprised 118,608 patients (5
