Implication
Revascularization-ineligible CAD patients warrant targeted multidisciplinary support; leaves open whether interventions improve survival or health status.
Structured PICO
Does ineligibility for revascularization impact 1-year mortality and perceived health status in patients with CAD?
P
Population
4,409 patients with proven coronary artery disease (CAD) from the Euro Heart Survey on Revascularization, excluding ST-elevation myocardial infarction and those in whom revascularization was not indicated.
I
Intervention
Ineligible for revascularization (n=632, 14%)
C
Comparator
Revascularization as the preferred treatment option (n=3777, 86%)
O
Outcome
1-year case-fatality and self-perceived health status measured via the EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) questionnairepatient reported
Patients with CAD who are ineligible for revascularization have higher mortality and persistently worse health status compared to those who undergo revascularization, highlighting a vulnerable population needing targeted multidisciplinary care.
