Decreasing trend in in-hospital mortality of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention regardless of race or gender with persistent higher mortality rates in women and minorities in the United States




Background


Significant advances have been made in the last few decades. We have recently shown that PCI-related mortality has been declining in recent years. The goal of this study was to evaluate age-adjusted in-hospital mortality rate in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on race and gender.




Method


The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was utilized to calculate the age-adjusted mortality rate for PCI from 1988 to 2004 in patients over the age of 40 retrospectively. Specific ICD-9-CM codes for PCI were used for this study. Demographic data including race and gender was also analyzed and adjusted for age.
