Abstract:Use of the CADILLIAC Risk Score can accurately identify patients for safe early discharge after PCI for STEMI. Early discharge has the potential to both improve the quality and decrease the cost of care for STEMI patients. Prospective validation of this risk score and formal cost analysis would facilitate widespread utilization.
In our study, risk-guided triage and discharge after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for STEMI improved healthcare value by reducing costs of care without compromising quality of care or patient outcomes.

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.
