Trends in the association between age and in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention: National Cardiovascular Data Registry experience.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
BACKGROUND: Temporal trends and contemporary data characterizing the impact of patient age on in-hospital outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions are lacking. We sought to determine the importance of age by assessing the in-hospital mortality of stratified age groups in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry. METHODS AND RESULTS: In-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention on 1 410 069 patients was age stratified into 4 groups-group 1 (age <40, n=25 679), group 2 (40 to 59, n=496 204), group 3 (60 to 79, n=732 574), and group 4 (>or=80, n=155 612)-admitted from January 1, 2001, to December 31, 2006. Overall in-hospital mortality was 1.22%; in-hospital mortality was 0.60%, 0.59%, 1.26%, and 3.16% in groups 1 to 4, respectively, P<0.0001. Overall temporal improvement per calendar year in the adjusted in-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention was noted in most groups; however, this finding was significant only in the 2 older age groups, group 3 (odds ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.92 to 0.96) and group 4 (odds ratio, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.92 to 0.97). The absolute mortality reduction was greatest in the most elderly group, those over the age of 80 years. CONCLUSIONS: In-hospital mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention has fallen for all age groups over the past 6 years. However, the largest absolute reduction was seen among patients 80 years of age or older.
