Comparative Outcomes of Transferred vs Nontransferred Cardiogenic Shock Patients Receiving Impella Support
Key Points
To investigate the effects of transfer status on outcomes in cardiogenic shock patients receiving Impella support.
Evaluated transfer and nontransfer status in cardiogenic shock patients
Assessed in-hospital mortality, complication rates, and resource utilization
No significant difference in in-hospital mortality rates observed
Increased complication rates and greater use of additional tMCS noted in transferred patients
Higher resource utilization recorded for transferred patients
Abstract
In this study, transfer status was associated with similar in-hospital mortality but higher complication rates, greater use of additional tMCS, and increased resource utilization.
