Key result
Between 2011 and 2013, the management of acute myocardial infarction in China improved, resulting in a reduction of in-hospital deaths from 4.52% to 3.55% (P=0.038).
Why the study?
Does guideline-based management of acute myocardial infarction improve clinical outcomes and process measures over time in a Chinese population?
Observational (n=64,654)
Yes
Does guideline-based management of acute myocardial infarction improve clinical outcomes and process measures over time in a Chinese population?
Absolute Event Rate: 3.55% vs 4.52%
p-value: p=0.038
Guideline-based management of AMI in China improved from 2011 to 2013, with increased PCI recanalization rates and reduced in-hospital mortality, though pre-hospital delays remain a challenge.

May support ongoing AMI quality initiatives in China; hypothesis-generating for guideline effects on mortality.
Wang et al. (2017) conducted an observational in acute myocardial infarction (n=64,654). Admission in 2013 vs. Admission in 2011 was evaluated on in-hospital deaths (p=0.038). Between 2011 and 2013, the management of acute myocardial infarction in China improved, resulting in a reduction of in-hospital deaths from 4.52% to 3.55% (P=0.038).
