OBJECTIVES: Indications for the use of stents are evolving and their optimal place in therapy remains to be defined. The objective was to compare the 1-year clinical and economic outcomes of percutaneous transluminal coronary agioplasty (PTCA) with and without the use of stents. METHODS: This retrospective database analysis was conducted using data from 60 US academic medical centers in 1996 and 1997. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality (both on sentinel and readmission visits), readmission rates, revascularization procedures, length of stay, and the cost of sentinel and readmission hospitalization. RESULTS: A total of 27,020 patients either did (n = 13,254) or did not (n = 13,766) receive coronary stents in conjunction with PTCA. The median cost of hospitalization for the stent group was about dollar 1,409 higher (mean, dollar 1,200) than the no-stent group and the length of stay was similar (4.3 days vs. 4.5 days, respectively, P = .2628). Mortality rates on readmission (0.9% stent vs. 0.8% no-stent, P = NS) did not differ. However, patients in the stent group had better mortality rates compared to the no-stent group during the sentinel visit (1.7% vs. 2.7%, P < .001). Stent use was not associated with a significantly lower risk of a revascularization procedure on readmission to the same institution (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.87-1.04, P = .28). CONCLUSIONS: Stents were associated with a 1% decrease of inpatient mortality during the sentinel visit without impacting length of stay or readmission rates. This advantage was associated with a dollar 1,409 higher median cost of hospitalization in the stent group. |
