Same day discharge following percutaneous coronary intervention did not significantly differ from overnight hospital stay in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.20-1.02; P=0.06) in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Why the study?

Does same-day discharge reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to overnight stay in patients with stable CAD undergoing PCI?

Population

8 RCTs pooling 3081 patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Comparison

Same-day discharge following PCI vs Overnight stay in the hospital following PCI

Design

Meta-analysis

Follow-up

30 days

Key result

Same day discharge following percutaneous coronary intervention did not significantly differ from overnight hospital stay in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.20-1.02; P=0.06) in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

Does same-day discharge reduce adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to overnight stay in patients with stable CAD undergoing PCI?

P
Population
3,081 patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, randomized to same-day discharge or overnight hospital stay, followed for up to 30 days.
I
Intervention
Same-day discharge following PCI
C
Comparator
Overnight stay in the hospital following PCI
O
Outcome
Adverse cardiovascular outcomes (mortality, myocardial infarction, and major adverse cardiac events) observed during a 30-day periodcomposite

Main Result

Odds Ratio: 0.45 (95% CI 0.2–1.02)

p-value: p=0.06

Same-day discharge following PCI in patients with stable CAD appears safe, with no significant increase in 30-day adverse cardiovascular outcomes compared to overnight hospital stay.

Limitations

  • A limited number of patients were analyzed, which might not provide robust results.
  • Moderate and high levels of heterogeneity were observed among several subgroups analyzing bleeding, any adverse event, and repeated revascularization.
  • Selection bias, publication bias, and language bias could have occurred because only English language publications were used.
  • Three of the trials included patients with low risk ACS, and one trial included patients with unstable angina, which might have contributed to heterogeneous results.
  • Similar study design was not reported in all of the eight trials, which might have contributed to the introduction of bias.
  • Lack of long-term follow-up data

Cite This Study

Bundhun et al. (2017) conducted a meta-analysis in Stable coronary artery disease (n=3,081). Same day discharge following PCI vs. Overnight stay in the hospital following PCI was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.20-1.02, p=0.06). Same day discharge following percutaneous coronary intervention did not significantly differ from overnight hospital stay in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.20-1.02; P=0.06) in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
