Abstract

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves anginal chest pain in most, but not all, treated patients. PCI is associated with unplanned readmission for angina and non‐specific chest pain within 30‐days of index PCI. Patients with an index hospitalization for PCI between January–November in each of the years 2010–2014 were included from the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database. Of 2 723 455 included patients, the 30‐day unplanned readmission rate was 7.2% (n = 196 581, 42.3% female). This included 9.8% (n = 19 183) with angina and 11.1% (n = 21 714) with non‐specific chest pain. The unplanned readmission group were younger (62.2 vs 65.1 years; P < 0.001), more likely to be females (41.0% vs 34.2%; P < 0.001), from the lowest quartile of household income (32.9% vs 31.2%; P < 0.001), have higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors or have index PCI performed for non‐acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (OR:3.46, 95%CI 3.39–3.54). Factors associated with angina readmissions included female sex (OR:1.28, 95%CI 1.25–1.32), history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (OR:3.28, 95%CI 2.95–3.66), coronary artery bypass grafts (OR:1.79, 95%CI 1.72–2.86), anaemia (OR:1.16, 95%CI 1.11–1.21), hypertension (OR:1.13, 95%CI 1.09, 1.17), and dyslipidemia (OR:1.10, 95%CI 1.06–1.14). Non‐specific chest pain compared with angina readmissions were younger (mean difference 1.25 years, 95% CI 0.99, 1.50), more likely to be females (RR:1.13, 95%CI 1.10, 1.15) and have undergone PCI for non‐ACS (RR:2.17, 95%CI 2.13, 2.21). Indications for PCI other than ACS have a greater likelihood of readmission with angina or non‐specific chest pain at 30‐days. Readmissions are more common in patients with modifiable risk factors, previous history of IHD and anaemia.
