ObjectiveTo determine trends and impact on outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with pre-existing psychosis.BackgroundWhile post-AMI psychosis has been extensively studied, contemporary studies including temporal trends on impact of pre-AMI Psychosis on AMI and post-AMI outcomes are lacking.MethodsWe used Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project(HCUP) from 2002 to 2012. We identified AMI and psychosis as primary and secondary diagnosis respectively using validated International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, and Clinical Modification (ICD9CM) codes, and Cochrane-Armitage trend test and multivariate regression to generate adjusted odds ratios (aOR).ResultsWe analyzed total of 7,174,274 AMI hospital admissions from 2002 to 2012 of which 1.77% had psychosis. Proportion of hospitalizations with psychosis increased from 6.94% to 11.85% (P-trend < 0.001). Utilization of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was lower in patients with psychosis (29.98% vs. 40.36%, P < 0.001). Utilization of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was lower in patients with psychosis (8.01% vs. 9.18%, P < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in patients with psychosis (aOR 0.677; 95% CI 0.630–0.727; P < 0.001) but discharge to specialty care higher (aOR 1.870; 95%CI 1.786–1.958; P < 0.001). In addition, median length of hospitalization (3.77 vs. 2.90 days; P < 0.001) was higher in hospitalizations with psychosis.ConclusionsOur study displayed increasing proportion of patients with psychosis admitted due to AMI in last decade with lower mortality but higher morbidity post-infarction, and significantly less utilization of PCI and CABG. There was also increased length of stay patients with MDD. There is need to explore reasons behind this disparity in outcomes and PCI and CABG utilization to improve post-AMI outcomes in this vulnerable population.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

ObjectiveTo determine temporal trends, invasive treatment utilization and impact on outcomes of pre-infarction drug abuse (DA) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in adults.BackgroundDA is important risk factor for AMI. However, temporal trends in drug abuse on AMI hospitalization outcomes in adults are lacking.MethodsWe used Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) from 2002 to 2012. We identified AMI and DA as primary and secondary diagnosis respectively using validated International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, and Clinical Modification (ICD9CM) codes, and used the CochraneArmitage trend test and multivariate regression to generate adjusted odds ratios (aOR).ResultsWe analyzed total of 7,174,274 AMI hospital admissions from 2002 to 2012 of which 1.67% had DA. Proportion of hospitalizations with DA increased from 5.63% to 12.08% (P trend < 0.001). Utilization of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was lower in patients with DA (7.83% vs. 9.18%, P < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in patients with DA (aOR 0.811; 95% CI 0.693–0.735; P < 0.001) but discharge to specialty care was higher (aOR 1.076; 95% CI 1.025–1.128; P < 0.001). The median cost of hospitalization (40,834 vs. 37,253; P < 0.001) was higher in hospitalizations with DA.ConclusionsWe demonstrate an increasing proportion of adults admitted with AMI have DA over the decade. However, DA has paradoxical association with mortality in adults. DA is associated with lower CABG utilization and higher discharge to specialty care, with a higher mean cost of hospitalization. The reasons for the paradoxical association of DA with mortality and worse morbidity outcomes need to be explored in greater detail.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

ObjectiveTo determine trends and impact on outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with pre-existing psychosis.BackgroundWhile post-AF psychosis has been extensively studied, contemporary studies including temporal trends on the impact of pre-AF psychosis on AF and post-AF outcomes are largely lacking.MethodsWe used Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from the healthcare cost and utilization project (HCUP) from year's 2002–2012. We identified AF and psychosis as primary and secondary diagnosis respectively using validated international classification of diseases, 9th revision, and Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) codes, and used Cochrane–Armitage trend test and multivariate regression to generate adjusted odds ratios (aOR).ResultsWe analyzed total of 3.887.827AF hospital admissions from 2002–2012 of which 1.76% had psychosis. Proportion of hospitalizations with psychosis increased from 5.23% to 14.28% (P trend < 0.001). Utilization of atrial-cardioversion was lower in patients with psychosis (0.76%v vs. 5.79%, P < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was higher in patients with Psychosis (aOR 1.206; 95%CI 1.003–1.449; P < 0.001) and discharge to specialty care was significantly higher (aOR 4.173; 95%CI 3.934–4.427; P < 0.001). The median length of hospitalization (3.13 vs. 2.14 days; P < 0.001) and median cost of hospitalization (16.457 vs. 13.172; P < 0.001) was also higher in hospitalizations with psychosis.ConclusionsOur study displayed an increasing proportion of patients with Psychosis admitted due to AF with higher mortality and extremely higher morbidity post-AF, and significantly less utilization of atrial-cardioversion. There is a need to explore reasons behind this disparity to improve post-AF outcomes in this vulnerable population.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

ObjectiveTo determine trends and impact on outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with pre-existing major depressive disorder(MDD).BackgroundWhile post-AF MDD has been extensively studied, contemporary studies including temporal trends on impact of pre-AF MDD on AF and post-AF outcomes are lacking.MethodsWe used Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) from 2002 to 2012. We identified AF and MDD as primary and secondary diagnosis respectively using validated International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, and Clinical Modification (ICD9CM) codes, and used Cochrane-Armitage trend test and multivariate regression to generate adjusted odds ratios (aOR).ResultsWe analyzed total of 3,887,827 AF hospital admissions from 2002 to 2012 of which 6.78% had MDD. Proportion of hospitalizations with MDD increased from 4.93% to 14.19% (P-trend < 0.001). Utilization of atrial cardioversion was lower in patients with MDD (34.37% vs. 40.52%, P < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in patients with MDD (aOR0.749; 95% CI 0.664–0.846; P < 0.001) but discharge to specialty care was higher (aOR 1.695; 95%CI 1.650–1.741; P < 0.001). In addition, median length of hospitalization (2.5 vs. 2.13 days; P < 0.001) and median cost of hospitalization (28,246 vs. 22,663; P < 0.001) was higher in hospitalizations with MDD.ConclusionsOur study displayed an increasing proportion of patients with MDD admitted due to AF in the last decade with lower mortality but higher morbidity post-AF. In addition, there was significantly less utilization of atrial cardioversion in this population along with higher median length and cost of hospitalization. There is a need to explore the reasons behind this disparity in outcomes and atrial cardioversion utilization in order to improve post-AF outcomes in this vulnerable population.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

BACKGROUND Studies of hospital quality and national performance measures for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) frequently exclude transfer patients. Little is known about the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with AMI transferred for revascularization. HYPOTHESIS Transfer patients have greater clinical comorbidity and worse hospital survival than non-transfer patients, and negatively impact hospital quality measures. METHODS A retrospective-cohort study was performed using all patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction who underwent coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in Washington State from 2002 – 2005. Data on clinical and procedural characteristics, medications, and complications were obtained from the Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program. Hospitals were compared by rates of death and discharge with aspirin, beta-blockers, lipid lowering agents, and ACE inhibitors. Logistic regression was used for adjusted analysis. RESULTS Of patients undergoing revascularization for AMI, 7080 were directly admitted and 2910 were transferred. Diabetes (23.4 v. 19.7%, p<0.01), hypertension (61.3 v. 55.7%, p<0.01), and thrombolysis (32.3 v. 3.4%, p <0.01) were greater among transfers. Transfers presented with a higher rate of left main and three-vessel disease, intra-aortic balloon pump use (6.4 v. 3.6%, p<0.01) and underwent CABG more frequently (15.4 v. 5.5%, p <0.01). Transfer patients had a lower risk of death (3.9 v. 4.9%, p=0.03), but no difference in discharge medication prescription. Adjusting for major risk factors, procedure, and hospital type, transfers had a similar risk for in-hospital death compared to non-transfers (OR 0.9, CI 0.5 – 1.6). Hospitals with a high percentage of transfers treated higher-risk patients, but had similar outcomes to those with few transfers. Excluding transfers from the hospital-level analysis did not appreciably change these results. CONCLUSION Transfers were higher-risk, but had similar in-hospital mortality and were equally likely to receive appropriate medication at discharge compared to directly admitted patients. Inclusion of transfers did not affect hospital-level inpatient mortality or measurements of adherence to quality guidelines.

High Sensitivity Troponin T

It remains unclear how introduction of high-sensitivity troponin T testing, as opposed to conventional troponin testing, has affected the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and resource utilization in unselected hospitalized patients. In this retrospective analysis, we include all consecutive cases from our center during two corresponding time frames (10/2016–04/2017 and 10/2017–04/2018) for which different troponin tests were performed: conventional troponin I (cTnI) and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) assays. Testing was performed in 18,025 cases. The incidence of troponin levels above the 99th percentile was significantly higher in cases tested using hs-TnT. This was not associated with increased utilization of echocardiography, coronary angiography, or percutaneous coronary intervention. Although there were no changes in local standard operating procedures, study site personnel, or national coding guidelines, the number of coded AMI significantly decreased after introduction of hs-TnT. In this single-center retrospective study comprising 18,025 mixed medical and surgical cases with troponin testing, the introduction of hs-TnT was not associated with changes in resource utilization among the general cohort, but instead, led to a decrease in the international classification of diseases (ICD)-10 coded diagnosis of AMI.

Background Quality of care incentives and reimbursements for cardiovascular testing differ between insurance providers. We hypothesized that there are differences in the use of guideline‐concordant testing between Medicaid versus commercial insurance patients <65 years, and between Medicare Advantage versus Medicare fee‐for‐service patients ≥65 years. Methods and Results Using data from the Colorado All‐Payer Claims Database from 2015 to 2018, we identified patients eligible to receive a high‐value test recommended by guidelines: assessment of left ventricular function among patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction or incident heart failure, or a low‐value test that provides minimal patient benefit: stress testing prior to low‐risk surgery or routine stress testing within 2 years of percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Among 145 616 eligible patients, 37% had fee‐for‐service Medicare, 18% Medicare Advantage, 22% Medicaid, and 23% commercial insurance. Using multilevel logistic regression models adjusted for patient characteristics, Medicaid patients were less likely to receive high‐value testing for acute myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR], 0.84 [0.73–0.98]; P =0.03) and heart failure (OR, 0.59 [0.51–0.70]; P <0.01) compared with commercially insured patients. Medicare Advantage patients were more likely to receive high‐value testing for acute myocardial infarction (OR, 1.35 [1.15–1.59]; P <0.01) and less likely to receive low‐value testing after percutaneous coronary intervention/ coronary artery bypass graft (OR, 0.63 [0.55–0.72]; P <0.01) compared with Medicare fee‐for‐service patients. Conclusions Guideline‐concordant testing was less likely to occur among patients with Medicaid compared with commercial insurance, and more likely to occur among patients with Medicare Advantage compared with fee‐for‐service Medicare. Insurance plan features may provide valuable targets to improve guideline‐concordant testing.
