The impact of sex, body mass index and chronic kidney disease on outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: This study sought to evaluate 1) the relationship between body mass index (BMI), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and bleeding complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); and 2) whether CKD modified the effect of BMI on major bleeding and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).

Background: The interaction of CKD, sex and BMI in patients undergoing PCI is unclear.

Methods: Between 2010 and 2018, a total of 31,116 patients underwent PCI at six New York metropolitan area hospitals.
