Variation in Health Status With Invasive vs Conservative Management of Chronic Coronary Disease

J Am Coll CardiolPublished Secondary analysis of the ISCHEMIA randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In the management of chronic coronary disease, individual patient characteristics are associated with 1-year health status, with younger age and poorer angina-related health status showing greater benefit from invasive management.

Study context

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Treatment interactions for 1-year health status (SAQ SS)
Lower baseline SAQ SS associated with better 1-year health status with invasive strategy
P interaction = 0.009
Younger age associated with better 1-year health status with invasive strategy
P interaction = 0.004

Further findings

SAQ SS overall · baseline and 1 year

Mean SAQ SS at baseline
74.1 ± 18.9
Mean SAQ SS at 1 year
85.7 ± 15.6
