Patients with mental illness have been shown to receive lower quality of care and experience worse cardiovascular (CV) outcomes compared to those without mental illness. This present study examined mental health-related disparities in CV outcomes after an Emergency Department (ED) visit for chest pain. This retrospective cohort included adult Medicaid beneficiaries in Washington state discharged from the ED with a primary diagnosis of unspecified chest pain in 2010-2017. Outcomes for patients with any mental illness (any mental health diagnosis or mental-health specific service use within 1 year of an index ED visit) and serious mental illness (at least two claims (on different dates of service) within 1 year of an index ED visit with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, other psychotic disorder, or major mood disorder) were compared to those of patients without mental illness. Our outcomes of interest were the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) within 30 days and 6 months of discharge of their ED visit, defined as a composite of death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), CV rehospitalization, or revascularization. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular diagnostic testing (diagnostic angiography, stress testing, echocardiography, and coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography) rates within 30 days of ED discharge. Only treat-and-release visits were included for outcomes assessment. Hierarchical logistic random effects regression models assessed the association between mental illness and the outcomes of interest, controlling for age, gender, race, ethnicity, Elixhauser comorbidities, and health care use in the past year, as well as fixed year effects. There were 98,812 treat-and-release ED visits in our dataset. At 30 days, enrollees with any mental illness had no differences in rates of MACE (AOR 0.96; 95% CI, 0.72-1.27) or any of the individual components. At 6 months, enrollees with any mental illness (AOR 1.86; 95% CI, 1.11-3.09) and serious mental illness (AOR 2.60; 95% CI 1.33-5.13) were significantly more likely to be hospitalized for a CV condition compared to those without mental illness. Individuals with any mental illness had higher rates of testing at 30 days (AOR 1.16; 95% CI 1.07-1.27). Patients with mental illness have similar rates of MACE, but higher rates of certain CV outcomes, such as CV hospitalization and diagnostic testing, after an ED visit for chest pain.
