TY - JOUR T1 - PRognostic impact of hospital readmissions after primary percutaneous coronary intervention AU - Campo G, Saia F, Guastaroba P, et al Y1 - 2011/11/28 N1 - 10.1001/archinternmed.2011.536 JO - Archives of Internal Medicine SP - 1948 EP - 1949 VL - 171 IS - 21 N2 - The implementation of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly improved the clinical outcome of patients admitted for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 However, some patients still develop recurrent adverse events, with a negative impact on survival. Accordingly, we analyzed the data from the REAL (Registro Angioplastiche dell’Emilia-Romagna) registry in order to evaluate the 3-year readmission rate for cardiovascular causes and their influence on death.
