Temporal trends and outcomes of acute ischaemic strokes in patients hospitalised for percutaneous coronary intervention
Authors' conclusion
In an unselected nationwide cohort of patients hospitalised for PCI, a gradual increase in AIS incidence was noted. We identified several variables associated with AIS as well as with in-hospital mortality.
Study context
- Population
- Patients hospitalised for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), nationwide healthcare records 2006–2021
- Participants
- 4,910,430 PCIs
- Exposure
- Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) vs no AIS after PCI
- AISn = 4,098
- Outcome
- Incidence and temporal trends of AIS after PCI; variables associated with AIS and in-hospital all-cause mortality
Methodological detailsnationwide
