Background There has been a decline in hospital length of stay (LOS) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Objectives The objective of this study was to examine whether shorter LOS is safe for older patients undergoing PPCI for STEMI. Methods The study analyzed patients’ characteristics and 30-day outcomes by LOS (short, ≤3 days; medium, 4 to 5 days; long >5 days; where LOS was the discharge date minus the admission date plus 1) among 33,920 patients with STEMI in the linked CathPCI Registry-Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services dataset who were ≥65 years of age and treated with PPCI from 2004 to 2009. Results Percents of patients in each category were as follows: 26.9%, 46.3%, and 26.8% for short, medium, and long LOS, respectively. Patients with a long LOS were generally older, female, and had more comorbidities, including cardiogenic shock and multivessel disease. Patients with a short LOS generally had higher ejection fraction and single-vessel disease. There was no significant difference in 30-day all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74 to 1.34) or major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (death, readmission for myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization: HR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.86 to 1.25) for medium versus short LOS. There was a significant increase in adjusted mortality (HR: 2.30; 95% CI: 1.72 to 3.07) and MACE (HR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.44 to 2.12) for long versus short LOS. Patients with a very short LOS (1 to 2 days) had significantly increased 30-day mortality and MACE compared with a 3- to 4-day LOS. Conclusions Patients discharged as early as 48 h after PPCI have outcomes similar to patients who stay in the hospital for 4 to 5 days. Early, but not very early (<48 h), discharge may be safe among selected older patients with STEMI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
