Summary: | Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to identify possible predictors for same day discharge (SDD) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Background Same day discharge after PCI is becoming more and more appealing and patient's selection criteria are being formulated. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in all PCI procedures from January 2013 until December 2015. Patients were discharged the same day (SDD group) or had at least one overnight stay (non SDD group). The decision of SDD or not was on treating physician discretion. We evaluated predictors of SDD decision by a logistic regression analysis. Results One thousand one hundred sixty eight procedures were performed from our Department during the study period: 308 patients (26.4%) were discharged the same day (SDD group) and the rest 860 procedures (73.6%) had at least one overnight stay (non SDD group). Multivariate analysis revealed that forearm approach (OR = 5.498, CI: 2.067–14.629; p = |
