| Core Tip |
Previous studies have established a role of gout in predicting risk and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, large-scale data on the impact of gout on inpatient outcomes of acute coronary syndrome (ACS)-related hospitalizations and post-revascularization is inadequate. In this largest nationwide cohort, we identified 3144744 ACS-related hospitalizations, of which 105198 (3.35%) also had gout. Coronary artery bypass grafting was required more often in the ACS-gout cohort. Post-revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention/coronary artery bypass grafting) complications including cardiovascular (3.2% vs 2.9%), respiratory (3.5% vs 2.9%), and hemorrhage (3.1% vs 2.7%) were higher and raised the mortality odds whereas all-cause mortality was lower (2.2% vs 3.0%) in the ACS-gout cohort. Mean length of stay, transfers and hospital charges were higher in the ACS-gout cohort. |
