Unplanned Readmission Rate After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at Hanoi Medical University Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is an effective treatment for coronary artery disease, helping to improve symptoms and reduce cardiovascular complications. However, unplanned readmission after PCI remains a clinical challenge and reflects the quality of patient care. This retrospective study analyzed 341 medical records of patients who underwent PCI at the Cardiovascular Center, Hanoi Medical University Hospital, during the last six months of 2024. Data were processed using SPSS 20.0 with descriptive statistics and comparative tests. Results showed that the overall readmission rate was 14.4%, of which 61.2% were unplanned (8.7% of all patients). Most readmissions occurred between 8 and 90 days after discharge, mainly due to cardiovascular symptoms (55.1%), particularly recurrent angina and systemic internal diseases. Factors associated with unplanned readmission included dyslipidemia and the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome. The study highlights the importance of close post- discharge follow-up, strict control of risk factors, and enhanced patient education to reduce unplanned readmissions after PCI.
