Effectiveness of chest pain center accreditation on the hospital outcome of acute aortic dissection: a nationwide study in China
“Reporting on the latest advancements in the field of acute aortic dissection (AAD) care, a study conducted by the National Chest Pain Center Program (NCPCP) in China has shown that accreditation of chest pain centers (CPC) significantly improves patient outcomes. The research, which analyzed data from 40,848 AAD patients across 1671 hospitals from 2016 to 2022, revealed that post-accreditation, there was a substantial decrease in in-hospital mortality and misdiagnosis rates, and an increase in Stanford type A AAD surgery rates. Expert analysis indicates that CPC accreditation is associated with reduced risks of in-hospital mortality and misdiagnosis, and an increase in the proportion of patients undergoing surgery, particularly in Western regions and non-provincial cities. This study lays a foundation for enhancing the management and in-hospital outcomes for AAD patients.”
