Factors associated with health-related quality of life in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Thai PCI registry.

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The objectives of this study were to assess the changes in HRQoL and factors influencing these changes in CAD patients after undergoing PCI.

Methods: Data from a nationwide PCI registry across 39 hospitals in Thailand were collected in 2018-2019, including baseline characteristics, comorbid diseases, angiographic CAD severity, procedural details, and type of health insurance.

Dose-dependent effect of impaired renal function on all-cause mortality in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective: To determine the risk prediction of various degrees of impaired renal function on all-cause mortality in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at high risk of all-cause mortality after PCI. However, there are less data of various degrees of impaired renal function to predict those risks.

No Paradoxical Effect of Smoking Status on Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in Patients Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Thai PCI Registry.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of smoking status on recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients who recently underwent PCI and to determine whether it was paradoxical.

Methods: This study utilized data from the nationwide Thai PCI registry, enrolling patients during 2018-2019.
