Abstract
Introduction: While the ACC NCDR CathPCI registry has long provided risk-adjusted benchmarking of in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), extending follow-up to 30 days in those who are discharged can provide a more comprehensive assessment of post-PCI outcomes. Aims: We sought to develop a new model for predicting in-hospital or 30-day mortality after PCI with excellent discrimination to be used for quality improvement efforts. Methods: Data from 472,594 PCIs performed in 2019 at 1,369 sites from the CathPCI registry linked to National Death Index data were used to identify pre-procedural and angiographic predictors of mortality and develop a predictive model of in-hospital or 30-day mortality. A thousand bootstrapped samples of the development cohort were created, and stepwise logistic regression was performed on each sample. The final model included variables that were selected in at least 70% of the bootstrapped samples. Results: The overall in-hospital or 30-day mortality rate after PCI in the entire cohort was 2.8%. In those undergoing elective PCI without shock or clinical instability, mortality was 0.5%, while in those undergoing salvage PCI or for refractory shock it was 60.3% . Cardiovascular instability, level of consciousness after cardiac arrest, frailty, and chronic kidney disease stage were the factors most predictive of mortality (Table 1). The full model performed well with good discrimination in the overall population (C-index= 0.907), and in the cohorts of patients with STEMI (c-index=0.899), and cardiac arrest or shock (c-index=0.828), as well as across the spectrum of procedural risk. Conclusions: This risk model can accurately predict in-hospital or 30-day mortality in those undergoing PCI by incorporating variables that capture cardiovascular instability and clinical status. Extending the mortality follow-up period should enable for a more standardized evaluation of outcomes across hospitals.
