Implication

30-day readmission flags higher post-PCI mortality risk; extends observational data linking procedural events to long-term survival.

Structured PICO

What demographic, clinical, and procedural factors are associated with 30-day readmission after PCI, and is 30-day readmission associated with 1-year mortality?

P
Population
15,498 PCI hospitalizations (elective or for acute coronary syndromes) from January 1998 through June 2008 at a single center in Rochester, Minnesota.
I
Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
O
Outcome
All-cause 30-day readmission to any hospital following PCI and 1-year mortalityhard clinical

Nearly 1 in 10 patients undergoing PCI are readmitted within 30 days, an event that is associated with significantly higher 1-year mortality.
