Structured PICO

Does same-day discharge after elective PCI reduce hospital costs without increasing adverse clinical outcomes compared to non-same-day discharge?

P
Population
672,470 patients undergoing elective PCI across 493 US hospitals between 2006 and 2015, followed for 1 year.
E
Exposure
Same-day discharge (SDD), defined by identical dates of admission, PCI procedure, and discharge.
C
Comparator
Non-same-day discharge (non-SDD) after elective PCI.
O
Outcome
Death, bleeding requiring a blood transfusion, acute kidney injury (AKI), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at 30, 90, or 365 days after PCI, and costs from hospitals' perspective.hard clinical

Main Result

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.

Limitations

  • Residual confounding may be present, limiting the precision of the cost estimates.

Cite This Study

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).
