Key result
African-American and Hispanic ethnicity did not significantly affect adjusted in-hospital mortality after PTCI compared to Caucasians (unadjusted mortality 0.8% and 2.0% vs 0.7%, respectively).

Ethnicity should not yet guide PTCI risk stratification; challenges prior disparity reports but leaves open need for confirmation.

Absolute Event Rate: 2% vs 0.7%
p-value: p=0.008
Ethnicity does not independently affect the procedural success or in-hospital complication rates of percutaneous coronary interventions after adjusting for baseline characteristics.
Mastoor et al. (2000) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease requiring PTCI (n=6,559). African-American and Hispanic ethnicity vs. Caucasian ethnicity was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=0.008). African-American and Hispanic ethnicity did not significantly affect adjusted in-hospital mortality after PTCI compared to Caucasians (unadjusted mortality 0.8% and 2.0% vs 0.7%, respectively).
