Key Points

To compare clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of acute myocardial infarction between Emiratis and expatriates.
Retrospective, single-center cohort study
Included 2,975 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction from 2013 to 2018
Analyzed clinical characteristics, demographics, and in-hospital outcomes
Emirati patients were older and had higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension
Higher in-hospital mortality (4.9% vs 2.3%) and heart failure (12.7% vs 6.1%) among Emiratis
Emirati nationality was not independently associated with adverse in-hospital outcomes after multivariable adjustment

Abstract

This retrospective, single-center cohort study included all consecutive patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction between 2013 and 2018. A total of 2,975 patients were analyzed (mean age: 51.6 years; 92.3% were male). Emirati patients comprised 10.3% of the cohort and were significantly older than expatriates (62.4 vs 50.3 years; P P P P P P = .006), as was the incidence of heart failure (12.7% vs 6.1%; P P = .335), cardiogenic shock (aOR: 1.85, 95% CI: 0.92-3.70; P = .082), cardiac arrest (aOR: 1.55, 95% CI: 0.80-3.00; P = .196), and heart failure (aOR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.98-2.29; P = .063) among Emiratis, none of these associations achieved statistical significance.
