Key result
Kuwaiti men admitted with acute coronary syndrome had significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to other Arab men (6.2% vs 2.3%, p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does nationality (Kuwaiti vs other Arab) affect the distribution of risk factors and in-hospital mortality in men with acute coronary syndrome?
Population
1,329 Arab men older than 25 years admitted with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome
Comparison
Kuwaiti nationality (observational exposure) vs Other Arab nationality
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
in-hospital

May warrant closer monitoring of Kuwaiti men with ACS; leaves open whether nationality independently predicts mortality beyond diabetes.

Absolute Event Rate: 6.2% vs 2.3%
p-value: p=<0.001
Kuwaiti men with acute coronary syndrome have a higher prevalence of diabetes and significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to other Arab men living in Kuwait.
Zubaid et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (n=1,329). Kuwaiti nationality vs. Other Arab nationality was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (p=<0.001).
