This study aimed to examine hospital performance on evidence-based management strategies for non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and variations across hospitals.
Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China (CCC)-ACS project is an ongoing registry and quality improvement project, with 150 tertiary hospitals recruited across China. We examined hospital performance on nine management strategies (Class I Recommendations with A Level of Evidence) based on established guidelines. We also evaluated the proportion of patients receiving defect-free care, which was defined as the care that included all the required management strategies for which the patient was eligible. The hospital-level variations in the performance were examined.
From 2014 to 2018, 28,170 NSTE-ACS patients were included. Overall, 16% of patients received defect-free care. Higher-performing metrics were statin at discharge (93%), cardiac troponin measurement (92%), dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) within 24 hours (90%), and DAPT at discharge (85%). These were followed by metrics of β-blocker at discharge (69%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) at discharge (59%), and risk stratification (56%). Lower-performing metrics were smoking cessation counseling (35%) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within recommended times (33%). The proportion of patients receiving defect-free care substantially varied across hospitals, ranging from 0% to 58% (Median (interquartile range):12% (7%-21%)). There were large variations across hospitals in performance on risk stratification, smoking cessation counseling, PCI within recommended times, ACEI/ARB at discharge and β-blocker at discharge.
About one in six NSTE-ACS patients received defect-free care, and the performance varied across hospitals.
本研究旨在考察医院在非 ST 段抬高型急性冠状动脉综合征(NSTE-ACS)的循证管理策略方面的表现及其在医院间的差异。
正在进行的“改善中国心血管疾病管理(CCC-ACS)项目”是一项注册和质量改进项目,在中国招募了 150 家三级医院。我们根据既定指南,考察了医院在 9 项管理策略上的表现(I 级推荐,A级证据)。我们还评估了接受无缺陷护理的患者比例,即包括所有符合条件的患者所需管理策略的护理。考察了医院间表现的差异。
2014 年至 2018 年期间,共纳入 28170 例 NSTE-ACS 患者。总体而言,16%的患者接受了无缺陷护理。表现较好的指标是出院时使用他汀类药物(93%)、肌钙蛋白检测(92%)、24 小时内双联抗血小板治疗(DAPT)(90%)和出院时 DAPT(85%)。其次是出院时使用β受体阻滞剂(69%)、血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂/血管紧张素受体阻滞剂(ACEI/ARB)(59%)和风险分层(56%)。表现较差的指标是戒烟咨询(35%)和在推荐时间内进行经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)(33%)。接受无缺陷护理的患者比例在医院间差异很大,从 0%到 58%(中位数(四分位距):12%(7%-21%))。医院间在风险分层、戒烟咨询、在推荐时间内进行 PCI、出院时使用 ACEI/ARB 和β受体阻滞剂方面的表现存在较大差异。
约六分之一的 NSTE-ACS 患者接受了无缺陷护理,而且医院间的表现存在差异。
