National Audit of Percutanous Coronary Interventions - 2013 Analyses

National Audit of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (NAPCI) monitors with a view to drive up an improvement in the quality of care and patient outcomes that receive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

• Structure of the provision of PCI services across the UK (for example the number of PCI centres, number of PCIs per centre and population, number of operators).
• Clinical care and treatment provided by each hospital, measured against national aggregated data and agreed national standards (for example indication for treatment, use of stents, arterial access routes).
• Process of care (for example delays in receiving treatments such as primary PCI).
• Outcome for patients such as complications, adverse cardiac events and death.

The datasets contain information on the percutaneous coronary interventions for ACS and stable angina:

• Call to balloon with degree of improvement
• Door to balloon with a degree of improvement
• Use of drug eluting stents and use of radial artery access
• Number of PCI per centre
• Key fields data completeness

The datasets are effectively tables underpinning the graphical presentations of the results in the annual public report and selection of slides from the BCIS website.

Patient outcomes – in this case PCI related complication rates - are published by the operator and at the hospital level on the BCIS and MyNHS websites.

These data do not include any data about individual patients nor do they contain any patient identifiable data.
