ABSTRACT: Aims
This study aims to evaluate the impact of the combination of cardiogenic shock (CS) and cardiac arrest (CA) complicating non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Methods and results
Adult (>18 years) NSTEMI admissions using the National Inpatient Sample database (2000 to 2017) were stratified by the presence of CA and/or CS. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality, early coronary angiography, hospitalization costs, and length of stay. Of the 7 302 447 hospitalizations due to NSTEMI, 147 795 (2.0%) had CS only, 155 522 (2.1%) had CA only, and 41 360 (0.6%) had both CS and CA. Compared with 2000, the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) for CS, CA, and both CS and CA in 2017 were 3.75 (3.58-3.92), 1.46 (1.42-1.50), and 4.52 (4.16-4.87), respectively (all P < 0.001). The CS + CA (61.2%) cohort had higher multiorgan failure than CS (42.3%) and CA only (32.0%) cohorts, P < 0.001. The CA only cohort had lower rates of overall (52% vs. 59-60%) and early (17% vs. 18-27%) angiography compared with the other groups (all P < 0.001). CS + CA admissions had higher in-hospital mortality compared with those with CS alone (aOR 4.12 [95% CI 4.00-4.24]), CA alone (aOR 1.69 [95% CI 1.65-1.74]), or without CS/CA (aOR 22.66 [95% CI 22.06-23.27]). The presence of CS, either alone or with CA, was associated with higher hospitalization costs and longer hospital length of stay.Conclusions
The combination of CS and CA is associated with higher rates of acute non-cardiac organ failure and in-hospital mortality in NSTEMI admissions as compared with those with either CS or CA alone.
