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.

Taking Risk: Early Results From Teaching Hospitals’ Participation in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative
The authors describe observations from the 27 teaching hospitals constituting the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) cohort in the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) initiative. CMMI introduced BPCI in August 2011 and selected the first set of participants in January 2013. BPCI participants enter into Medicare payment arrangements for episodes of care for which they take financial risk. The first round of participants entered risk agreements on October 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014. In April 2014, CMMI selected additional participants who started takin...

88 One-year outcomes of triple therapy and adherence with ESC guidelines in patients with AF undergoing PCI in a teaching hospital
Background/Introduction: Oral anticoagulation is the corner-stone for stroke prevention in Atrial Fibrillation (AF).Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) the risk of bleeding increase due to concomitant prescription of antiplatelet agents. The 2016 European Society of Cardiology( ESC) guidelines for non valvular AF provide clear recommendations for triple therapy  , Combination of two anti-platelet and oral anticoagulant in patients with underlying AF undergoing PCI, either electively or for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The risk of such therapy is based on treatment duration and patient characteristics.

Effect of a low dose of empagliflozin on short-term outcomes in type 2 diabetics with acute coronary syndrome after percutaneous coronary intervention
CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that adding low dose empagliflozin to standard care of ACS diabetic patients after PCI was associated with no significant reduction in negative cardiovascular outcomes during 6 months.PMID:35537720 | DOI:10.15537/smj.2022.43.5.20220018
