Peberdy et al Impact of PCI Reporting on Cardiac Arrest Centers 763 reimbursement, as well as individual and hospital-level reward programs. Patients with OHCA have much lower survival rates than non-CA STEMI-PCI patients. Hospitals that care for moderate numbers of postarrest patients, such as the level 1 CRCs recommended by the AHA, take more of these typically comatose, systemically critically ill patients to the catheterization laboratory for emergency coronary angiography and PCI. Even under the best reported circumstances, mortality in the overall postarrest population who have been initially resuscitated is≈ 50%. 13 This 50% survival is double the previous long-term survival rate before such aggressive bundled postarrest care was used. 13 Such an aggressive postarrest revascularization approach5–10, 12–21 has the unintended consequence of causing the centers that perform the type of highvolume, quality postarrest care that follows a Class I AHA guideline to have significantly higher mortality than hospitals that treat only a few postarrest patients annually. Appropriate subsets of postarrest patients being given immediate access to the catheterization laboratory involves treating many patients who will ultimately succumb to neurological or multiorgan failure rather than a cardiovascular death, 22 yet their deaths are reported simultaneously with all other STEMI patients, the majority of whom have a 10-fold lower periprocedural mortality. Because federal-and state-mandated public reporting of outcomes has been shown to influence physician decision making in choosing whether to take high-risk patients for lifesaving procedures, the potential exists for interventional cardiologists and hospitals to have to decide between protecting their publicly reported reputation or jeopardizing future reimbursement and providing what the evidence has demonstrated to be the best clinical care for their patient. 23 The purpose of this scientific statement is to describe the potential impact of including OHCA patients with STEMI in the public reporting of PCI mortality and to make recommendations for modifications in the current outcomes-reporting procedures in this population.
