| Abstract: | ObjectivePatients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are sometimes boarded in the emergency department (ED) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We evaluated the effects of direct and indirect admission to the CCU on mortality and the effect on length of stay (LOS) in patients with STEMI.MethodThis was a retrospective observational study of patients with STEMI between Jan 2014 and Nov 2017. The patients were divided into the direct admission (DA) group, who were admitted into the CCU immediately after PCI, and the indirect admission (IA) group, who were admitted after boarding in the ED. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. Secondary endpoints were 3-month mortality, LOS in CCU and hospital, and LOS under intensive care.ResultsDuring the study period, 780 patients were enrolled and analyzed. The in-hospital mortality rate and 3-month mortality rate were 5.9% (46 patients) and 8.5% (66 patients). The DA group and IA group had similar in-hospital and 3-month mortality rates (P = .50, P = .28). The median CCU LOS and hospital LOS was similar for both groups (P = .28, P = .46). However, LOS under in intensive care for the IA group was significantly longer than that of the DA group (DA, 31.9 h; IA, 38.7 h; P < .001).ConclusionThis study suggests that direct admission after PCI and indirect admission was not associated with mortality in patients with STEMI. In addition, the stay in ED also appears to be associated with the duration of stay under critical care. |
