In this retrospective report, earlier intervention in NSTEMI reduced the composite outcome and mortality at 1 year. However, earlier intervention did not significantly reduce the composite outcome or mortality at 30 days. Reminder: retrospective (even propensity-matched) trials may suggest differences that prospective randomized trials may or may not support.
