Key result
Patients with AMI reporting symptom severity scores >8 were more likely to have discrepancies in reported prehospital delay between medical records and structured interviews (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.1-5.1).
Why the study?
Does symptom severity predict differences in reported prehospital delay between medical records and structured interviews in patients with AMI?
Population
155 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Japan
Comparison
Structured patient interview vs Medical record review
Design
Cross-sectional

Medical records may underestimate prehospital delay vs interviews in severe AMI; leaves open whether interview data should inform reperfusion decisions.
Cross-Sectional (n=155)
Does symptom severity predict differences in reported prehospital delay between medical records and structured interviews in patients with AMI?
Odds Ratio: 2.2 (95% CI 1.1–5.1)
Prehospital delay times for AMI are often recorded as shorter in medical records compared to structured interviews, particularly in patients with severe symptoms.
Fukuoka et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=155). Symptom severity score > 8 vs. Symptom severity score ≤ 8 was evaluated on Discrepancy in reported symptom onset time between medical records and structured interviews (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.1 to 5.1). Patients with AMI reporting symptom severity scores >8 were more likely to have discrepancies in reported prehospital delay between medical records and structured interviews (OR 2.2; 95% CI 1.1-5.1).
