| Core Tip |
Frailty influences outcomes in elderly patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In a large United States cohort, PCI reduced in-hospital mortality across all frailty levels, yet benefits declined and complications, length of stay, and costs rose with increasing frailty. These findings highlight that frailty should not preclude PCI but must be routinely assessed to guide individualized decision-making, risk prediction, and resource allocation in acute coronary care. |
