Implication
May support early revascularization decisions in STEMI; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of propensity-based selection.
Structured PICO
Does revascularization within 7 days reduce 1-year mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction?
P
Population
13,451 ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients enrolled in the GUSTO-V trial from North America, Australia, and Europe
I
Intervention
Revascularization within 7 days
C
Comparator
No revascularization within 7 days / lower rates of revascularization
O
Outcome
1-year mortalityhard clinical
Revascularization within 7 days in STEMI patients is associated with lower 1-year mortality, highlighting the potential for outcome improvement in countries with lower-than-expected revascularization rates.
