Appropriate Use Criteria and Health Status Outcomes Following Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Insights From the OPEN-CTO Registry

JT Saxon, JA Grantham , AC Salisbury et al. Keywords: CTO PCI; health status

ABSTRACT


BACKGROUND - The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Appropriate Use Criteria were designed to aid clinical decision-making, yet their association with health status outcomes after chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown.

 

METHODS - We analyzed 769 patients with baseline and 1-year health status data after chronic total occlusion PCI. Procedures were categorized as appropriate, may be appropriate, or rarely appropriate. Mean changes in patient-reported health status, assessed by the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), were compared across appropriate use criteria categories from baseline to 1 year. Change in SAQ summary score was stratified as little to no benefit (10 points), intermediate (1019 points), large (2029 points), and very large (30 points).

 

RESULTS - The appropriate use criteria indication was appropriate in 573 patients (74.5%), may be appropriate in 191 (24.8%), and rarely appropriate in 5 (0.7%). Patients in the appropriate group reported greater improvement in SAQ summary scores (27.3±21.3 points) at 1 year compared with the may be appropriate (22.5±20.9; P=0.01). A similar pattern was noted for SAQ angina frequency (mean change 24.0±27.2 versus 18.7±25.6; P=0.02). The appropriate group had the highest proportion of very large improvements in SAQ summary scores (44.5% versus 33.3%; P=0.01).

 

CONCLUSIONS - Among patients undergoing chronic total occlusion PCI, the rate of rarely appropriate PCI was low. The rate of appropriate PCI was high and was associated with the greatest health status improvement at 1 year. A substantial proportion of patients in the may be appropriate group experienced meaningful health status benefits as well.
