Key result
Not prescribing aspirin within 24 hours of admission for acute myocardial infarction was significantly associated with increased hospital mortality (OR 3.61; 95% CI 1.11-11.77).
Why the study?
Does adherence to evidence-based process quality indicators reduce hospital mortality and early readmission in patients with acute myocardial infarction?

May support early aspirin in AMI; observational data leaves open causal mortality benefit.
Luthi et al. (2007) conducted a cohort in Acute myocardial infarction (n=577). Not prescribing aspirin within 24 hours after admission vs. Prescribing aspirin within 24 hours after admission was evaluated on Hospital mortality (OR 3.61, 95% CI 1.11-11.77, p=<0.0001). Not prescribing aspirin within 24 hours of admission for acute myocardial infarction was significantly associated with increased hospital mortality (OR 3.61; 95% CI 1.11-11.77).
