PCI Use in Public Reporting vs Nonreporting States

Adjusted odds of undergoing percutaneous revascularization among patients with AMI was significantly lower in public reporting states than in nonreporting states (p = 0.017). These findings were specifically pronounced among older patients, those with Medicare insurance, and those presenting with STEMI or concomitant cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock (interaction p < 0.001 for each comparison).
