Why the study?
There was a need to identify PCI risk factors and accurately quantify procedural risks to facilitate comparative effectiveness research, provider comparisons, and informed patient decision making.

Can early mortality following percutaneous coronary intervention be accurately predicted using pre-procedural clinical factors?
The NCDR risk models provide excellent discrimination for predicting early mortality following PCI, facilitating clinical decision-making and comparative effectiveness research.
