Does migrant status affect prognosis after a first hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction or congestive heart failure compared to the ethnic Dutch population?
Migrant groups in the Netherlands experience worse prognosis after a first AMI hospitalization compared to the ethnic Dutch population, highlighting ethnic disparities in cardiovascular outcomes.
Prognosis after a first AMI hospitalisation was worse among most migrant groups compared with the ethnic Dutch population. Ethnic inequalities in prognosis after a first CHF hospitalisation were more diverse. Efforts should be made to disentangle the underlying factors of the results.
