The impact of sex, body mass index and chronic kidney disease on outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention
Abstract
Objective
This study sought to evaluate 1) the relationship between body mass index (BMI), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and bleeding complications in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); and 2) whether CKD modified the effect of BMI on major bleeding and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE).
