What is Clinical experience with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation over 10 years: A retrospective cohort study of 459 patients about?

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify prognostic predictors for the patients experiencing cardiogenic shock who required the institution of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). Design, setting, and patients: Patients with cardiogenic shock were retrieved from the clinical information system in National Taiwan University Hospital and classified according to their etiology: acute coronary syndrome (ACS), ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), congestive heart failure (CHF), hemodynamic instability after post-coronary bypass graft operation (post-CABG) or after percutaneous intervention (post-PCI), and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims. Measurements: Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression model were applied to evaluate the factors associated with survival. Main results: A total of 459 patients were found to belong to one of six etiology categories between 1995 and 2004. The 30-day mortality was highest in the OHCA group, followed by the STEMI, CHF, ACS, post-PCI, and post-CABG groups in a decreasing frequency (log rank p < 0.001). Peak troponin I level was negatively associated with survival, and its effect largely paralleled with und
