Design and rationale of the comprehensive evaluation of risk factors in older patients with AMI (SILVER-AMI) study
Key result
The SILVER-AMI study protocol describes a prospective cohort study of 3,000 older adults with acute myocardial infarction designed to develop risk models for readmission, mortality, and health status decline.
Why the study?
What are the risk factors (including geriatric impairments) for hospital readmission, mortality, and health status decline among older adults hospitalized for AMI?
Population
3000 older adults (age 75 and over) hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
six months

Cite This Study
Dodson et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=3,000). Geriatric impairments and clinical risk factors was evaluated on All-cause hospital readmission, all-cause death, and decline in health status within six months of hospital discharge. The SILVER-AMI study protocol describes a prospective cohort study of 3,000 older adults with acute myocardial infarction designed to develop risk models for readmission, mortality, and health status decline.
