Association Between Current and Future Annual Hospital Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Mortality Rates.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Multiple states publicly report a hospital's risk-adjusted mortality rate for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a quality measure. However, whether reported annual PCI mortality is associated with a hospital's future performance is unclear.

Objective

To evaluate the association between reported risk-adjusted hospital PCI-related mortality and a hospital's future PCI-related mortality.

Design, setting, and participants

This study used data from the New York Percutaneous Intervention Reporting System from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2016, to assess hospitals that perform PCI.

Exposures

Public-reported, risk-adjusted, 30-day mortality after PCI.

Main outcomes and measures

The primary analysis evaluated the association between a hos
