Supports consideration of same-day discharge in selected older elective PCI patients; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.

Does same-day discharge increase death or rehospitalization in older patients undergoing elective PCI compared to overnight stay?
Odds Ratio: 0.95 (95% CI 0.78–1.16)
Absolute Event Rate: 9.63% vs 9.7%
p-value: p=.94
Same-day discharge after elective PCI in selected older patients is rarely implemented but appears safe, with no significant increase in 30-day death or rehospitalization compared to overnight observation.
Rao et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=107,018). Same-day discharge vs. Overnight stay was evaluated on Death or rehospitalization by 30 days after PCI (adjusted OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.78-1.16, p=.94). Same-day discharge after elective PCI in older patients was not significantly associated with 30-day death or rehospitalization compared with overnight stay (adjusted OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.78-1.16).
