P666Efficacy of optical coherence tomography based vulnerable plaque assessment at the index PCI to predict remote plaque progression in non-culprit lesions

Abstract

Figure 1 event; whereas patients without any cardiovascular event exhibited stable and low NT-proBNP levels. Serial NT-proBNP measurements could therefore be of additional value in the annual follow-up of patients with an elevated NT-proBNP. In patients with a low NT-proBNP it may be advisable to repeat NT-proBNP measurements at a much lower frequency. Acknowledgement/Funding: This study was supported by a grant from the Dutch Heart Foundation, Den Haag, the Netherlands (grant number 2015T029). Introduction: There are limited data on outcomes of older adults, particularly nonagenarians after admission to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). Risk assessment incorporating geriatric-specific variables may help identify the most vulnerable patients. Purpose: Our purpose was to identify whether the Elder Risk Assessment index (ERA) could risk stratify older adults after CICU admission. Methods: We retrospectively identified 453 patients over the age of 90 admitted to the CICU between 2004 and 2013. Baseline demographics, comorbid illnesses, and admission indication were collected. Endpoints included mortality, length of stay (LOS), incidence of delirium, and discharge disposition. The ERA was utilized to stratify outcomes. Results: Average age of the cohort was 92±2 years. Loss of independence was observed after CICU admission, with 66% of patients living independently prior to admission, decreasing to 47% at discharge. Overall LOS was 6±5 days and CICU stay was 2±2 days. Delirium was observed in 17% during the hospital stay, and P665 | BEDSIDE Outcomes of nonagenarians admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit and utility of the ERA score for long-term mortality risk stratification
