Why the study?
AMICS is associated with high mortality, and patients aged 75 years or older represent an increasing proportion at high risk for adverse outcomes.
Population
300 consecutive AMICS patients treated using a standard shock protocol
Comparison
Patients <75 years old vs ≥75 years old
Design
Registry-based cohort study
Key result
Age <75 years was associated with significantly higher survival compared to age ≥75 years in AMICS patients treated with a standard shock protocol (75.6% vs 50%; adjusted OR 10.4, P=0.001).

Lemor et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) (n=300). Age <75 years vs. Age ≥75 years was evaluated on Survival (adjusted OR 10.4, p=0.001). Age <75 years was associated with significantly higher survival compared to age ≥75 years in AMICS patients treated with a standard shock protocol (75.6% vs 50%; adjusted OR 10.4, P=0.001).
