Introduction: Depression and Anxiety are prevalent among patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, their impact on important clinical outcomes, such as length of hospital stay (LOS) and mortality, is incompletely understood. Objective: Examine the magnitude and impact of major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety on LOS and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Hypothesis: Patients with MDD or anxiety will have poorer clinical outcomes after PCI. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Inpatient Survey (NIS). Admissions in 2017 with a primary diagnosis of ACS and undergoing PCI were identified based on ICD10 codes. Patients with MDD or anxiety were further delineated with ICD10 codes. The association between MDD or anxiety and LOS and in-hospital mortality was analyzed using linear and logistic regression models, respectively. Various sociodemographic (age, race, sex, income), clinical (history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stroke, peripheral artery disease, valvular heart disease, chronic kidney disease, anemia, obesity, smoking) and hospital-level (region, location, payer type) factors were adjusted for in the analysis. Results: Among 130,712 patients admitted for ACS who underwent PCI, the prevalence of MDD and anxiety were 8.7% (n=11,303) and 10.8% (n=14,066), respectively. Patients were on average aged 67 years (SD=13.5), 38% were females, and 73% non-Hispanic White. Overall, the mean LOS was 4.4 days (SD=5.4) and 4.7% of patients died while hospitalized. Patients with MDD (4.6 vs 4.4, p=0.001) or anxiety (4.7 vs 4.4, p=0.001) had longer LOS than those without these conditions. Contrary to our hypothesis, patients with MDD (OR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.73-0.91) or anxiety (OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.64-0.79) had significantly lower odds of mortality than those without MDD or anxiety after adjusting for several factors of prognostic importance. Conclusions: Among ACS patients who underwent PCI, MDD and anxiety were associated with increased LOS but paradoxically lower in-hospital mortality. These findings reinforce the need for future investigations to evaluate the impact of psychological factors on clinical outcomes in ACS patients who undergo PCI.

BackgroundIn patients with stable angina (SA), the clinical benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) reside almost exclusively within the realm of symptomatic improvement rather than improvement in hard clinical endpoints. The benefits of PCI should always be balanced against its potential short-term and long-term risks. Common among these risks is the presence of anaemia and its interaction with poor clinical outcomes and increased morbidity; this study aims to elucidate the impact of anaemia on long-term clinical outcomes of this patient group.MethodsFrom Danish national registries, we identified patients with SA treated with PCI who had a haemoglobin measurement maximum of 90 days prior to PCI procedure. Anaemia was defined as haemoglobin <130 and <120 g/L in men and women, respectively. Follow-up was up to 3 years after PCI, and Cox regression was used to estimate HRs with 95% CIs of hospitalisation due to bleeding, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and all-cause mortality in patients with anaemia compared with patients without anaemia.ResultsOf 2837 included patients, 14.6% had anaemia prior to PCI. During follow-up, 93 patients (3.3%) had a bleeding episode, which was higher in patients with anaemia (5.8%) compared with patients without anaemia (2.8%). A total of 213 patients (7.5%) developed ACS, which was higher in patients with anaemia (10.6%) compared with patients without anaemia (7.0%). Furthermore, 185 patients (6.5%) died, with a mortality rate of 18.1% in patients with anaemia compared with 4.5% in patients without anaemia. In multivariable analyses, anaemia was associated with a significantly increased risk of bleeding (HR 1.69; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.73; P 0.033), ACS (HR 1.47; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.10; P 0.031) and all-cause mortality (HR 2.41; 95% CI 1.73 to 3.30; P <0.001).ConclusionAnaemia in patients with SA was significantly associated with bleeding, ACS and all-cause mortality following PCI.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to determine the difference in effects of beta-blockers on long-term clinical outcomes between ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients with mid-range ejection fraction (mrEF) and those with reduced ejection fraction (rEF). Methods Data were assessed of 3508 consecutive IHD patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 1997 and 2011. Among them, 316 patients with mrEF (EF = 40–49%) and 201 patients with rEF (EF < 40%) were identified. They were assigned to groups according to users and non-users of beta-blockers and effects of beta-blockers were assessed between mrEF and rEF patients, separately. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death and non-fatal acute coronary syndrome. Results The median follow-up period was 5.5 years in mrEF patients and 4.3 years in rEF patients. Cumulative event-free survival was significantly lower in the group with beta-blockers than in the group without beta-blockers in rEF (p = 0.003), whereas no difference was observed in mrEF (p = 0.137) between those with and without beta-blockers. In the multivariate analysis, use of beta-blockers was associated with reduction in clinical outcomes in patients with rEF (hazard ratio (HR), 0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.36–0.97; p = 0.036), whereas no association was observed among those with mrEF (HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.49–1.10; p = 0.137). Conclusions Our observational study showed that use of beta-blockers was not associated with long-term clinical outcomes in IHD patients with mrEF, whereas a significant association was observed in those with rEF.
