Presentation with STEMI was associated with significantly higher odds of an in-hospital composite of death, re-infarction, stroke, major bleeding, or cardiac arrest (OR 8.70; 95% CI 2.52-29.93).

Creatinine elevation may identify higher in-hospital mortality risk in ACS; leaves open renal stratification value in sub-Saharan registries.

This registry study from Kenya highlights a high in-hospital mortality rate (17%) for ACS patients and a significant gap in reperfusion therapy for STEMI patients.
Bahiru et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (n=196). STEMI presentation vs. Non-STEMI presentation was evaluated on In-hospital composite of death, re-infarction, stroke, major bleeding or cardiac arrest (OR 8.70, 95% CI 2.52-29.93). Presentation with STEMI was associated with significantly higher odds of an in-hospital composite of death, re-infarction, stroke, major bleeding, or cardiac arrest (OR 8.70; 95% CI 2.52-29.93).
