Key result
Higher guideline compliance was independently associated with reduced 1-year mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (OR 0.8 per additional 10% compliance; 95% CI 0.7-0.9).
Why the study?
Does higher compliance with guidelines reduce 1-year mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Cohort (n=754)
Does higher compliance with guidelines reduce 1-year mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Odds Ratio: 0.8 (95% CI 0.7–0.9)
Higher compliance with clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction management is independently associated with reduced 1-year mortality.

Supports guideline adherence in AMI; hypothesis-generating for interventions to boost compliance before practice change.
Schiele et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in acute myocardial infarction (n=754). Guideline compliance vs. Lower guideline compliance was evaluated on 1-year mortality (OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.7-0.9). Higher guideline compliance was independently associated with reduced 1-year mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (OR 0.8 per additional 10% compliance; 95% CI 0.7-0.9).
