Abstract:

Asian American/Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and Hispanics are growing minority United States populations, but are poorly represented in the cardiovascular literature. This study examines guideline adherence and outcomes in AAPIs and Hispanics compared with non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) in a quaternary care center after inpatient percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary end points were inpatient post-PCI bleed, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and all-cause mortality, whereas the secondary end point was the prescription rate of post-PCI guideline-directed medical therapy including aspirin, statins, P2Y receptor blockers, and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Intergroup differences were assessed through analysis of variance or two-way chi-square tests, and the association of race with binary outcomes was examined through logistic regression with NHW as the reference group. Compared with NHW, AAPIs, and Hispanics had higher odds of diabetes mellitus, and AAPIs had higher odds of hypertension and being on dialysis. Hispanics had higher odds of post-PCI mortality versus NHW, both in acute coronary syndrome (odds ratio [OR] 2.04, p  =  0.03) and elective PCI (OR 2.51, p  =  0.04). AAPI also trended toward higher mortality than NHW in both categories. AAPIs were found to have higher odds of statin prescription (OR 1.91, p  =  0.04). Hispanics had lower odds of ticagrelor prescription versus NHW (OR 0.65, p  =  0.04), and AAPIs trended toward such. No differences were found for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation prescriptions in groups. This study suggests that despite quality improvement efforts, disparities remain in postprocedural outcomes in minority groups in comparison with NHW.
