Study Of Costs Realized After Percutaneous Coronary intervenTion Employing Same Day Discharge

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Behavioral: Overnight Stay
Behavioral: Same day discharge
Registration Number
NCT02207270
Lead Sponsor
Saint Joseph Mercy Health System
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the total costs of care associated with uncomplicated elective or low-risk urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) through 30-day follow up are lower among patients who are randomly assigned to same day discharge (SDD) or overnight hospital stay (ON).

Detailed Description

This is a prospective randomized clinical trial of same day discharge versus overnight stay for patients undergoing uncomplicated elective or low-risk urgent PCI with uncomplicated post-PCI recovery. The outcome is total cost accrued by patients from the time of index hospital presentation through 30-day post-PCI follow-up.

Conduct of PCI procedures and provision of post-PCI care will be in accordance with routine institutional practices and will not be protocol-driven.

Consented patients will be assigned to SDD or ON stay using a block randomization schedule. Randomization will occur once the patient has completed an uncomplicated 6-hour post PCI observation period.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Consecutive patients who undergo elective or low-risk, (i.e., in the setting of unstable angina but not non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) urgent PCI.
  • No sociodemographic factors that would preclude SDD (prohibitive factors include no family member/friend available to remain with patient until nurse phone call the following day, no working phone, no reliable transportation, home > 60 minutes from medical infrastructure, unable to obtain/pay for medications).
  • PCI procedures performed between 08/04/14 and 08/03/16.
  • Short term risk of in-hospital death, transfusion or contrast-induced nephropathy during the index hospitalization at or below 1% using Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Cardiovascular Consortium (BMC2) PCI registry risk prediction models.
  • No in-lab complications (prolonged angina, acute closure, no reflow, significant or untreated dissection, vessel perforation, side branch occlusion, rescue glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation requiring cardioversion/defibrillation, tamponade, pulmonary edema, stroke or transient ischemic attack, shock).
  • Contrast Volume/Calculated Creatinine Clearance ratio < 3
  • No recurrent chest pain, shortness of breath, hemodynamic instability, bleeding or vascular complications during 6 hours in recovery area post-PCI
Exclusion Criteria
  • Use of rotational atherectomy
  • Use of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor infusion post-PCI
