Measurement was undertaken of associated patient outcomes 2-years before and after the intervention (minus a 6-month clearance period on either side) by measuring events in primary care, hospital attendance, outpatient and emergency department. The analysis controlled for comorbidity (Charlson) and deprivation (Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation), stratified by admission type (elective or emergency) and membership of top 5% post-intervention costs. Costs were estimated by multiplying events by mean person cost estimates.ResultsWe identified 5,999 percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and 1,640 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) between 2014-06-01 to 2020-02-29. The ratio of emergency to elective interventions was 2.85 for PCI and 1.04 for CABG. In multivariate analysis significant associations were identified for comorbidity (OR = 1.52, CI = (1.01–2.27)), deprivation (OR = 1.34, CI = (1.03–1.76)) and rurality (OR = 0.81, CI = (0.70–0.95)) for PCI interventions, and comorbidity (OR = 1.47, CI = (1.10–1.98)) for CABG. Higher costs post-intervention were associated with increased comorbidity for PCI and CABG in the top 5% cost groups, but for PCI this was not seen outside the top 5%. For PCI, moderate cost increase was associated with increased deprivation, but the picture was more mixed following CABG interventions. For both interventions, lower costs post intervention were seen in rural locations.ConclusionWe identified and compared health outcomes for selected specialist cardiac interventions amongst patients resident in Wales, with these methods and analyses, providing a template for comparing other cardiac interventions.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>PLOS ONE</journal><volume>19</volume><journalNumber>2</journalNumber><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher>Public Library of Science (PLoS)</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic>1932-6203</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>9</publishedDay><publishedMonth>2</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2024</publishedYear><publishedDate>2024-02-09</publishedDate><doi>10.1371/journal.pone.0297049</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Health Data Science</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>HDAT</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><funders>The work was funded by the Welsh Health Specialised Services Committee (WHSSC).</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2024-04-04T12:04:07.9149110</lastEdited><Created>2024-02-11T12:48:54.4203267</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">Swansea University Medical School - Health Data Science</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Gareth</firstname><surname>Davies</surname><orcid>0000-0001-9005-1618</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Ashley</firstname><surname>Akbari</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0814-0801</orcid><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Rowena</firstname><surname>Bailey</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Lloyd</firstname><surname>Evans</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Kendal</firstname><surname>Smith</surname><order>5</order></author><author><firstname>Jonathan</firstname><surname>Goodfellow</surname><order>6</order></author><author><firstname>Michael</firstname><surname>Thomas</surname><order>7</order></author><author><firstname>Kerryn Lutchman</firstname><surname>Singh</surname><order>8</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>65627__29635__00cf30a3368e4710a99a32f0beedac3f.pdf</filename><originalFilename>65627.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2024-03-05T10:37:52.9332371</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>2295579</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>© 2024 Davies et al.
