    BackgroundCancer patients are less likely to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after cardiac arrest, although they demonstrate improved mortality benefit from the procedure. We produced the largest nationally representative analysis of mortality of cardiac arrest and PCI for patients with cancer versus non-cancer.MethodsPropensity score adjusted multivariable regression for mortality was performed in this case-control study of the United States' largest all-payer hospitalized dataset, the 2016 National Inpatient Sample. Regression models of mortality and PCI weighted by the complex survey design were fully adjusted for age, race, income, cancer metastases, NIS-calculated mortality risk by Diagnosis Related Group (DRG), acute coronary syndrome, and likelihood of undergoing PCI.ResultsOf the 30,195,722 hospitalized adult patients, 15.43% had cancer, and 0.79% of the whole sample presented with cardiac arrest (of whom 20.57% underwent PCI). In fully adjusted regression analysis among patients with cardiac arrest, PCI significantly reduced mortality (OR 0.15, 95 %CI 0.13-0.19; p < 0.001) among patients with cancer greater than those without it (OR 0.21, 95 %CI 0.20-0.23; p < 0.001).ConclusionsThis nationally representative study suggests that post-cardiac arrest PCI is underutilized among patients with cancer despite its significant mortality reduction for such patients (independent of clinical acuity).Published by Elsevier B.V.
