BENCHMARKINGPROBLEMS AND THE KEY ROLE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN ASSESSING PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONSRESULTS
The paper presents comparative results of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated in 2012-2015 in two Moscow hospitals. Indicators of PCIprocess, outcome and safety were usedfor comparison. The level of compliance with international guidelines forACS in-hospital management and at discharge was high; process indicators were fulfilled for 80 %-97 %. The authors discuss theimpact of patient risk profile on PCI outcomes and the importance of predictive models for risk adjustment when comparing hospital performance measures. An example of risk adjustment is presented forcomparison ofin-hospital mortality and hemorrhagic complication rate in ACS patients between Moscow hospital and the American PCI registryCathPCI.
