Variability in recording practices questions validity of STEMI delay indicators for hospital comparisons; leaves open whether uniform definitions would enhance reliability.

Population

1017 patients diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention discharged in 2012 from seven Dutch hospitals.

Outcome

Comparability of five performance indicator scores for treatment delay (assessed as the number of occasions the indicator threshold was reached for each hospital)

Differences in data definitions and availability across hospitals impede the comparability of treatment delay performance indicators for STEMI patients.
