Key result
Same-day discharge after elective PCI was associated with no higher risk of death, bleeding, AKI, or AMI, and resulted in cost savings of $5128 per procedure (95% CI, $5006-$5248).

May support expanded same-day discharge after elective PCI for cost savings; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of safety.

Does same-day discharge after elective PCI reduce hospital costs without increasing adverse clinical outcomes compared to non-same-day discharge?
Effect estimate: Cost savings $5128 (95% CI $5006-$5248)
Same-day discharge after elective PCI is safe and associated with significant cost savings, yet it remains underutilized with substantial hospital-level variation in the United States.
Amin et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (n=672,470). Same-day discharge vs. Non-same-day discharge was evaluated on Death, bleeding requiring a blood transfusion, AKI, AMI, and costs at 30, 90, or 365 days after PCI (Cost savings $5128, 95% CI $5006-$5248). Same-day discharge after elective PCI was associated with no higher risk of death, bleeding, AKI, or AMI, and resulted in cost savings of $5128 per procedure (95% CI, $5006-$5248).
