Association of Same-Day Discharge After Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the United States With Costs and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Same-day discharge (SDD) after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with lower costs and preferred by patients. However, to our knowledge, contemporary patterns of SDD after elective PCI with respect to the incidence, hospital variation, trends, costs, and safety outcomes in the United States are unknown.

Objective

To examine (1) the incidence and trends in SDD; (2) hospital variation in SDD; (3) the association between SDD and readmissions for bleeding, acute kidney injury (AKI), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), or mortality at 30, 90, and 365 days after PCI; and (4) hospital costs of SDD and its drivers.

Design, setting, and participants

This observational cross-sectional cohort study included 672 470 patients enrolled in the
