Without robust and valid risk adjustment, however, findings from these nonrandomized studies may remain biased. Previous studies examining long-term mortality with drug-eluting stents (DESs) have demonstrated discordant results between randomized trials and observational studies. To examine the impact of treatment selection bias on these findings, we used data from a prospective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) registry (EVENT [Evaluation of Drug Eluting Stents and Ischemic Events]) to compare clinical outcomes between DESs and bare metal stents (BMSs) using conventional (multivariable regression and propensity matching) and novel (instrumental variable analysis) risk-adjustment techniques.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods and Results\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              The study population consisted of 9266 patients who underwent nonemergent PCI with stent placement at 55 US centers between 2004 and 2007. All-cause mortality and target lesion revascularization (TLR) were assessed prospectively over 1 year of follow-up. Overall, 8171 patients (88%) received DES, but this proportion substantially differed by treatment year (93% in 2004\u20132006 and 73% in 2007;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001). One-year rates of death and TLR were significantly lower with DES versus BMS (death, 2.5% versus 5.6%; TLR, 4.2% versus 6.9%;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001 for both), findings that persisted in both multivariable-adjusted and propensity-matched analyses. In contrast, instrumental variable analysis, using enrollment period (2004\u20132006 versus 2007) as the instrument, demonstrated no significant difference in 1-year mortality (predicted absolute difference, 2.0%; 95% CI, -1.8% to 5.7%;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.30) and a strong trend toward reduced TLR with DES use (predicted absolute difference, -4.2%; 95% CI, -8.8% to 0.4%;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.07).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions\u2014<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among unselected PCI patients in contemporary practice, DES use tended to be associated with a consistent reduction in TLR regardless of risk-adjustment method but showed discordant effects on mortality with conventional risk adjustment compared with instrumentable variable analysis. These findings underscore the limitations of standard risk-adjustment methods to adequately address treatment selection bias in nonrandomized studies and have important implications for comparative effectiveness research using observational data.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/circoutcomes.111.960971","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,12]],"date-time":"2011-10-12T04:24:29Z","timestamp":1318393469000},"page":"587-594","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Survival Benefit With Drug-Eluting Stents in Observational Studies"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Lakshmi","family":"Venkitachalam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City, MO (L.V., Y.L., E.A.M., P.S.C., K.F.K., D.J.C.);
