Why the study?
Does door-to-balloon time < 90 minutes reduce hospital costs in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention?
Population
141 patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention between 2008 and 2013
Comparison
Door-to-balloon time (DBT) < 90 minutes vs Door-to-balloon time (DBT) ≥ 90 minutes
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
hospital discharge
Key result
Door-to-balloon time < 90 minutes compared to ≥ 90 minutes in patients undergoing primary PCI showed no significant difference in hospital costs (R$ 33,194.24 vs R$ 36,947.58; p=0.43).

Door-to-balloon time <90 min was not associated with lower costs; leaves open whether time targets affect resource use in observational primary PCI data.

Does door-to-balloon time < 90 minutes reduce hospital costs in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention?
Absolute Event Rate: 33194.24% vs 36947.58%

Achieving a door-to-balloon time of < 90 minutes during primary PCI was not associated with a significant difference in hospital costs compared to longer times.
Moreira et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (n=141). Door-to-balloon time < 90 minutes vs. Door-to-balloon time ≥ 90 minutes was evaluated on Hospital costs (p=0.43). Door-to-balloon time < 90 minutes compared to ≥ 90 minutes in patients undergoing primary PCI showed no significant difference in hospital costs (R$ 33,194.24 vs R$ 36,947.58; p=0.43).
