Key result
Age ≥85 in AMI is linked to ~78% higher in-hospital mortality versus ages 65-74.
Cohort (n=3,851)
Effect estimate: OR 1.46 and 1.78
Advancing age in older adults hospitalized with AMI is associated with lower receipt of evidence-based therapies and higher in-hospital mortality.

Age-related mortality rise in AMI may refine risk stratification; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes in the oldest patients.
Chen et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=3,851). Advancing age (75-84 and ≥85 years) vs. Age 65-74 years was evaluated on Dying during hospitalization (OR 1.46 and 1.78). Advancing age in adults hospitalized with AMI was associated with higher in-hospital mortality, with odds 1.46 times higher for ages 75-84 and 1.78 times higher for ages ≥85 compared to ages 65-74.
