Comparison of 30-Day Unplanned Readmissions to the Index Versus Nonindex Hospital After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Prognostic impact of hospital readmissions after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

T he implementation of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly improved the clinical outcome of patients admitted for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, some patients still develop recurrent adverse events, with a negative impact on survival. Accordingly, we analyzed the data from the REAL (Registro Angioplastiche dell’Emilia-Romagna) registr...

Clinical Preventability of 30‐Day Readmission After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

BACKGROUND Early readmission after PCI is an important contributor to healthcare expenditures and a target for performance measurement. The extent to which 30-day readmissions after PCI are preventable is unknown yet essential to minimizing their occurrence. METHODS AND RESULTS PCI patients readmitted to hospital at which PCI was performed within 30 days of discharge at the Massachusetts Gene...
