Background: Subsequent hospitalizations after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for unstable angina (UA) and coronary revascularization represent common and important clinical events. While numerous studies sought to predict survival, AMI, and all-cause rehospitalization after AMI, there are limited data about how to best risk-stratify patients for UA and subsequent revascularization. Understanding these factors can support the development of more efficient AMI care. Methods: In the multi-center TRIUMPH registry, we used 3,283 patients with detailed baseline and 1-year follow-up information, including adjudicated hospitalizations, following initial AMI admission. An initial prediction model was derived after examining > 60 demographic, socio-economic, comorbidity, AMI severity, treatment, psychosocial and health status characteristics using hierarchical Cox Proportional Hazards for UA or revascularization. Staged PCIs and elective CABGs performed ≤1 month were excluded. Results: A total of 140 (4.3%) patients were readmitted ≤1 year for UA and 158 (4.8%) for revascularization. Independent predictors of UA were female sex (HR=1.88; 95%CI: 1.33, 2.65), prior PCI (HR=1.64; 95%CI: 1.12, 2.39), prior CABG (HR=2.06; 95%CI: 1.28, 3.32), and GRACE risk score (HR per 1 point increase=0.99; 95%CI: 0.98, 0.99). Independent predictors of revascularization were diseased vessels >1 (HR=2.50; 95%CI: 1.74, 3.60), and GRACE risk score (HR=0.99; 95%CI: 0.99, 1.00). While high-risk patients (those with diabetes, peripheral artery and cerebrovascular disease) were at increased risk of being readmitted for UA (HR=1.48; 95%CI 1.04, 2.10) or revascularization (HR=1.35; 95%CI: 0.97, 1.88), there was no interaction between these associations and risk status, suggesting equal prognostic significance in those with and without high-risk characteristics. Conclusion: Unique characteristics are associated with admissions for UA and revascularization. Creating multivariable models, risk scores and prospective risk stratification can support tailoring treatment to those at highest risk, although prospective studies are needed to establish the best management for high-risk patients.
