Does higher attainment of ESC ACCA quality indicators reduce 30-day mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Higher hospital attainment of ESC ACCA quality indicators for acute myocardial infarction is associated with significantly lower 30-day mortality.
Eleven QIs were significantly inversely associated with 30-day mortality. Increasing patient attainment of the composite quality indicator was the most powerful predictor; a 1% increase in attainment represented a 3% decrease in 30-day standardised mortality. The ESC QIs for acute myocardial infarction are applicable in a large health system and have the potential to improve care and reduce unwarranted variation in death from acute myocardial infarction.
