Why the study?

Does serious mental illness increase MACE and mortality in patients undergoing PCI?

Key Points

The research aims to explore the cardiovascular health outcomes of patients with serious mental illness after PCI.
Compared the incidence of MACE in patients with serious mental illness post-PCI to those without.
Assessed secondary prevention measures and medication adherence.
Analyzed mortality rates among the different groups.
Patients with serious mental illness experienced significantly higher MACE despite equal or better secondary prevention.
Mortality rates were similar or lower in the mental illness group.
Interventions focused on medication adherence and care coordination may reduce these disparities.

Structured PICO

Does serious mental illness increase MACE and mortality in patients undergoing PCI?

P

Population

Patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), propensity score matched to controls.

I

Intervention

Serious mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression)

C

Comparator

Propensity score matched controls without serious mental illness

O

Outcome

MACE and mortality at 30 days and 1 yearhard clinical

Abstract
