Have characteristics and in-hospital mortality of patients with AMI at non-PCI capable hospitals changed between 2007 and 2014?
Patient characteristics for AMI at non-PCI capable hospitals changed between 2007 and 2014, but in-hospital mortality remained unchanged.
Kalinauskienė et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=162). Admission in 2014 vs. Admission in 2007 was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Admission in 2014 compared to 2007 for acute myocardial infarction at non-PCI capable hospitals showed no significant differences in in-hospital mortality for STEMI (18.8% vs 21.7%) or NSTEMI.
