At 12 months receipt of ICA had a significantly greater impact on mortality in NSTEMI (HR 0.37, CI:0.32, 0.42) than STEMI (HR 0.54, CI:0.45, 0.65), with mortality being 30% lower in both if revascularised (STEMI: HR 0.67, CI:0.55, 0.83; NSTEMI: HR 0.72, CI:0.61, 0.85). AMI readmission increased mortality, while readmission for TN-NSTEACS showed no effect on either.Conclusions: Over 12 months both STEMI and NSTEMI patients benefit from ICA during initial hospitalisation with the most benefit occurring in NSTEMI patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
