Public Reporting of State PCI Results May Backfire
By Jason Kahn
Monday, March 02, 2009
Rather than fostering more informed patient decisions about the quality of a hospital’s interventional care, public reporting of in-hospital mortality figures for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures may have an unintended consequence. Physicians may shy away from offering PCI to the patients at highest risk, instead performing PCI more liberally in low-risk patients whose potential benefits are marginal at best, according to a review article in the March 10, 2009, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
