Doshi R, et al. - Researchers used the National Inpatient Sample database to compare women undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs those undergoing peripheral vascular intervention (PVI), in terms of risk factors and in-hospital outcomes. They used appropriate International Classification of Diseases-Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes, and identified only female hospitalizations (age ≥ 18 years) who had PCI or PVI from 2005 to 2014. The primary endpoint was Charlson's Comorbidity Index. The cost of hospitalizations related to PCI or PVI was considered as a coprimary endpoint. Out of 2,461,328 female hospitalizations found, 85.6% had PCI and 14.4% had PVI. A longer length of stay and higher cost was associated with PVI hospitalizations vs PCI.
