Key result
Non-compliance with aspirin therapy was the strongest risk factor for in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 3.07) among several quality-of-care indicators assessed in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Does compliance with quality-of-care indicators reduce in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Observational (n=2,128)
Yes
Does compliance with quality-of-care indicators reduce in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Odds Ratio: 3.07 (95% CI 1.55–6.08)
p-value: p=0.0028
Adherence to guideline-directed quality-of-care indicators for acute myocardial infarction is significantly associated with reduced in-hospital mortality, highlighting the clinical importance of closing practice gaps.

Aspirin non-compliance warrants attention in Chinese AMI care; extends quality-indicator associations but leaves causal mortality reduction open.
Wang et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=2,128). Non-compliance with aspirin therapy vs. Compliance with aspirin therapy was evaluated on In-hospital mortality (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.55-6.08, p=0.0028). Non-compliance with aspirin therapy was the strongest risk factor for in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR 3.07) among several quality-of-care indicators assessed in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction.
