What does this research mean for the field?

While overall first myocardial infarction incidence and 1-year case-fatality significantly decreased in Denmark from 1978 to 2012, incidence increased among younger adults (men under 50 and women under 60) and the very elderly (≥90 years).

Implication

Declines in first MI incidence and fatality may reflect prevention gains; extends observational trends but leaves open subgroup drivers and causality.

Key Points

To examine the temporal changes in the incidence and 1-year mortality of first myocardial infarction in Denmark over a 35-year period.
Included patients aged 30 years or older admitted with first MI in Denmark from 1978 to 2012 (n=316,790).
Analyzed incidence rates and one-year mortality using statistical models, particularly Poisson models.
Overall incidence per 100,000 person-years decreased significantly, from 500 to 297 for males and from 229 to 156 for females.
One-year case-fatality decreased from 50% to 9% among male MI patients and from 53% to 15% among female MI patients from 1978 to 2012.
Increasing incidence was observed in younger males (30-39) and females (30-49) and individuals aged ≥90 years.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients aged 30 years or older admitted with first myocardial infarction (MI) in Denmark from 1978 to 2012 (n = 316,790).

Outcome

Temporal changes in incidence and 1-year mortality of first myocardial infarctionhard clinical

Over a 35-year period in Denmark, the overall incidence and 1-year mortality of first myocardial infarction decreased significantly, although incidence increased in younger adults and the very elderly.
