Exploring Triaging and Short-Term Outcomes of Early Invasive Strategy in Non-ST Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Report from Japanese Multicenter Registry.

ABSTRACT: This observational study aimed to examine the extent of early invasive strategy (EIS) utilization in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) according to the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI risk score, and its association with clinical outcomes. Using a prospective multicenter Japanese registry, 2968 patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention within 72 hours of hospital arrival were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine predictors of EIS utilization. Additionally, adverse outcomes were compared between patients treated with and without EIS. Overall, 82.1% of the cohort (n = 2436) were treated with EIS, and the median NCDR CathPCI risk score was 22 (interquartile range: 14-32)
