Socio-economic deprivation is associated with a higher risk of out-of-hospital fatal myocardial infarction among urban women.
Tydén et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction. Highest socio-economic quintile vs. Lowest socio-economic quintile was evaluated on Fatal outcome out-of-hospital (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.48-0.94). Women in the highest socio-economic quintile had a significantly lower risk of out-of-hospital fatal myocardial infarction compared to those in the lowest quintile (OR 0.67; 95% CI 0.48-0.94).
