Abstract 320: Healthcare Resource Utilization Among Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome Managed with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Using Prasugrel or Ticagrelor: A Retrospective Database Analysis Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: All-cause rehospitalizations at 30-and 90-days post discharge in ACS-PCI pts were non-inferior with pras vs. ticag in all 3 cohorts. Pras was associated with significantly lower risk for 90-day all-cause rehospitalizations compared with ticag in the label and core cohorts, which are the majority of pts receiving pras. Although there appears to be inherent bias and unmeasured confounders related to use of pras vs. ticag, these data show reductions in HCRU with pras compared with ticag in the real-world setting at 30- and 90-days post-discharge.

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.

Long-Term Outcomes After Invasive Management for Older Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Original Articles
Conclusions— Older patients with non–ST-segment elevation MI with significant coronary disease face high long-term risks for mortality and nonfatal cardiovascular outcomes after early catheterization that differ by type of revascularization procedure performed. These findings can help guide the design of studies evaluating long-term therapies among elderly post-MI patients.

Abstract 328: Coronary Artery Disease Performance Measures And Statin Use Between Patients With Recent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)and Patients With Recent Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): An Analysis From The NCDR(R). Poster Session III
Conclusion: Although overall compliance with CAD PMs between patients undergoing recent CABG compared to recent PCI is similar, only about one-fourth of patients in both groups met between 75-100% of eligible CAD PMs. Furthermore, distinct gaps were noted for specific PMs in the recent CABG group. Our study highlight areas for future quality improvement initiatives aimed at improving compliance in PMs in patients who have undergone recent revascularization.
