Impact of access to coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention on in-hospital and five-year mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome: a propensity-matched cohort study in Thailand
Access to CAG and PCI was significantly associated with lower in-hospital and 5-year mortality rates in patients who experienced their first event of ACS, despite the limited availability of some unmeasured or residual confounders. Healthcare systems should expand their resources for CAG and PCI in Thailand and other countries to equitably enhance longevity.
