Key result
Between 1997 and 2008 in Ireland, hospitalization rates decreased by 27% for AMI and 68% for STEMI, but increased by 122% for NSTEMI (P<0.001 for trend).

NSTEMI rise amid falling STEMI rates may reflect diagnostic shifts; extends temporal trend data while leaving mechanisms and generalizability open.

Between 1997 and 2008 in Ireland, overall AMI and STEMI hospitalizations decreased while NSTEMI hospitalizations increased significantly, alongside a steady decline in in-hospital mortality.
Jennings et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), STEMI, and NSTEMI. Temporal trends (1997-2008) was evaluated on Age-standardised hospitalisation rates, in-hospital mortality and indicators of health service use (p=<0.001). Between 1997 and 2008 in Ireland, hospitalization rates decreased by 27% for AMI and 68% for STEMI, but increased by 122% for NSTEMI (P<0.001 for trend).
