Why the study?

Does 30-day readmission for ACS or heart failure increase MACE in patients undergoing PCI?

Structured PICO

Does 30-day readmission for ACS or heart failure increase MACE in patients undergoing PCI?

Population

1,192 consecutive patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at a single Italian center between January 2009 and December 2011.

Intervention

30-day readmission related to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or heart failure

Comparator

No 30-day readmission or non-ACS/heart failure 30-day readmission

Outcome

Major cardiac adverse event (MACE)composite

Thirty-day readmission for ACS or heart failure after PCI is an infrequent event but strongly predicts long-term mortality and MACE.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

30-day ACS/HF readmission after PCI identifies higher-mortality patients; hypothesis-generating for preventive interventions.

Moretti et al. (2014) studied this question.
