Structured PICO

Does percutaneous coronary intervention improve health-related quality of life in elderly patients?

P
Population
Elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention evaluated for health-related quality of life outcomes.
I
Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
C
Comparator
Conservative management, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, younger patients undergoing PCI, or age-matched general population
O
Outcome
Health-related quality of life (HRQOL)patient reported

PCI in elderly patients provides significant improvements in health-related quality of life for at least 1 year, comparable to younger patients and the age-matched general population.

Limitations

  • Significant heterogeneity and bias exists
  • Lack of appropriate data precluded meta-analysis
  • Limited number of articles and patients included

Cite This Study

Shan et al. (2014) conducted a systematic review in Elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. Conservative management, CABG, or younger/age-matched populations was evaluated on Health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Percutaneous coronary intervention in elderly patients improves health-related quality of life for at least 1 year, with benefits comparable to younger patients and the age-matched general population.
