Postdischarge Bleeding After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Subsequent Mortality and Myocardial Infarction: Insights From the HMO Research Network-Stent Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bleeding after hospital discharge from percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with increased risk of subsequent myocardial infarction (MI) and death; however, the timing of adverse events after these bleeding events is poorly understood. Defining this relationship may help clinicians identify critical periods when patients are at highest risk.

Methods and results

All patients undergoing PCI from 2004 to 2007 who survived to hospital discharge without a bleeding event were identified from the HMO Research Network-Stent (HMORN-Stent) Registry. Postdischarge rates and timing of bleeding-related hospitalizations, MI, and death were defined. We then assessed the association between postdischarge bleeding-related hospitalizations with death and MI using
