Abstract 340: Thirty-day Repeat Hospitalizations for Patients Treated with Prasugrel Compared to Ticagrelor following Acute Coronary Syndrome: Findings from a Large Hospital Charge Master Database Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusion: Rehosp for MI, revasc or bleeding was non-inferior for pras compared to ticag at 30 days post discharge. Pts treated with pras had lower 30 day rehosp rates, particularly related to readmission for MI, compared with ticag. Although limited by selection bias, these results support the clinical utility of pras, regardless of cohort, to limit 30 day rehosp for pts undergoing PCI for ACS.

Abstract 230: The Impact of Hospital Closures on Outcomes for Myocardial Infarction and Stroke Poster Session II
Conclusions: We found no evidence that hospital closure was associated with worse clinical outcomes for AMI or stroke for patients. Though there were increased travel times for both conditions, this was likely offset by an increase in hospital quality in the alternative hospitals. These findings should provide some reassurance to those concerned that hospital closures will lead to significantly worse patient outcomes, even for conditions for which timely receipt of treatment is critical.
