Total and Cause-Specific Mortality After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Observations From the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease Registry.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background:Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are increasingly older and have a higher comorbidity burden. This study evaluated trends in 30-day, 1-year, and 2-year total and cause-specific mortality using a large, contemporary cohort of patients who underwent PCI in Alberta, Canada. Methods:We used the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease (APPROACH) registry to identify patients aged ? 20 years who underwent PCI between 2005 and 2013. All patients were followed until death or being censored by August 2016. Cause of death was from the Vital Statistics database and classified as cardiac or noncardiac. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate predicted mortality at 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years post-PCI. Results:Of the 35,602 patients who underwent PCI, 5284 (14.8%) had died. Mean (standard deviation) follow-up was 74.9 (35.1) months. Over the study period, patients were older and more likely to undergo PCI for an acute coronary syndrome indication. Thirty-day (2005: 1.3%; 2013: 3.2%; P < 0.001), 1-year (2005: 2.7%; 2013: 5.7%; P < 0.001), and 2-year (2005: 4.5%; 2013: 7.5%; P < 0.001) predicted mortality after PCI increased over the study period. Cardiac cause of death dominated in the short-term, but the proportion of noncardiac deaths increased as time from PCI to death increased (30 days = 11.5%, 1 year = 31.5%, 2 years = 39.6%; P < 0.001). Conclusions:In this population-based study, we found all-cause mortality at 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years after PCI increased over time. Cardiac causes of death dominate in the short-term after PCI; however, noncardiac cause becomes a major driver of mortality in the long-term.
