Reader Comments:
I read with great interest the systematic review of Wang and Liu regarding the impact of frailty on outcomes of elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The authors conducted a systematic meta-analysis based on the well established PRISMA guidelines. A total of 739693 elderly patients undergoing PCI were included in the meta-analysis. Frail patients had significantly higher risks of in-hospital mortality, all-cause mortality, MACEs, and major bleeding compared to non-frail patients. Understanding that frailty significantly contributes to worse outcomes in elderly patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) provides valuable insights for optimizing the care and outcomes of this vulnerable population.
