Index Admission and Thirty-Day Readmission Outcomes of Patients With Cancer Presenting With STEMI.

ABSTRACT:

Background

National-level data of cancer patients' readmissions after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are lacking.

Objectives

The primary aim of this study was to compare the rates and causes of 30-day readmissions in patients with and without cancer.

Methods

Among patients admitted with STEMI in the United States National Readmission Database (NRD) from October 2015-December 2017, we identified patients with the diagnosis of active breast, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer. The primary endpoint was the 30-day unplanned readmission rate. Secondary endpoints included in-hospital outcomes during the index admission and causes of readmissions. A propensity score model was used to compare the outcomes of patients with and without cancer.
