Hospital Variation in the Utilization of Short-Term Nondurable Mechanical Circulatory Support in Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock

Abstract: Background: Limited knowledge exists on inter-hospital variation in the utilization of short-term, non-durable mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). Methods and Results: Hospitalizations for MI with CS in 2014 in a nationally representative all-payer database were included. The proportion of hospitalizations for MI with CS using MCS (MCS ratio) and in-hospital mortality were evaluated. Hospital characteristics and outcomes were compared acr… Show more

“…Patient selection for MCS also differs in hospitals with different rates of MCS utilization, which could affect variation in clinical outcomes across hospitals. 33 Overall, given the complexity of CS, dedicated training and experience is needed to maintain competency in delivering safe and effective non-invasive and invasive interventions. It is possible to build upon the volume-outcome relationship by establishing multidisciplinary CS teams within specialized referral centres adept at providing comprehensive care for CS patients.…”

“…This mirrors the geographic variation seen with cardiac devices more generally. [27][28][29] Further investigation is required to understand the drivers of these differences, which may include physician training networks, patient preferences, and access to CA.…”

“…These devices, among others, include the microaxial flow pumps from the Impella ® family, the TandemHeart ® and ECMO [6]. Although frequently used in clinical routine, data supporting a prognostic benefit with active MCS devices in infarct-related CS are limited [14][15][16][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The aim of the present analysis was to investigate the prognostic role of active MCS devices rather than an outcome analysis of patients treated with IABP.…”
