Why the study?
Multimorbidity is associated with disability, functional decline, poor quality of life, and healthcare consumption, but patterns of multimorbidity and their association with outcomes after first PCI required investigation.
Do specific multimorbidity clusters impact the risk of 30-day and 12-month MACCE and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing first PCI?

May aid post-PCI risk stratification by multimorbidity; leaves open whether tailored interventions reduce MACCE in prospective studies.
