Long-Term Outcomes for Chinese COPD Patients After PCI: A Propensity Score Matched, Double-Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to analyze long-term outcomes of Chinese coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with (and without) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic condition which often develops in conjunction with CAD. PCI is a core therapy for CAD, although we still need to understand CAD-COPD outcomes and to identify factors that influence prognoses, across ethnicities.

Methods

This double-cohort study involved 12,343 Chinese CAD patients who received PCI. Baseline characteristics were collected in two independent, specialty centers. Propensity-score matching was performed to control confounding factors, using a nearest neighbor matching me
