Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Outcomes by 5 Major Race and Ethnic Subgroups
Authors' conclusion
Significant racial and ethnic disparities exist in 1-year PCI outcomes, with South Asian patients exhibiting favorable outcomes compared with White patients, and Black patients experiencing worse outcomes. Baseline comorbidities and estimated SES do not fully explain these disparities, suggesting that targeted strategies are needed to address the multifactorial influences on PCI outcomes across racial and ethnic groups.
