Why the study?

Does patient age affect temporal trends in in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention?

Structured PICO

Does patient age affect temporal trends in in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention?

Population

1,410,069 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention admitted from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2006, from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry. Age stratified into 4 groups: <40 (n=25,679), 40 to 59 (n=496,204), 60 to 79 (n=732,574), and ≥80 (n=155,612).

Intervention

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Comparator

Different age groups and temporal trends over calendar years

Outcome

In-hospital mortalityhard clinical

In-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention has fallen across all age groups, with the greatest absolute reduction seen in patients aged 80 years or older.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Supports PCI consideration in older adults; extends temporal mortality data but remains hypothesis-generating.
