Key result
Resuscitation and thrombolytic treatment for acute myocardial infarction resulted in 83 lives saved per 1000 patients treated (95% CI 70-96).
Observational
Yes
Lives saved per 1000 patients treated is proposed as a robust, easily measurable performance indicator for acute myocardial infarction care, providing an alternative to case fatality.

Supports lives saved per 1000 as AMI performance metric; leaves open randomized validation before practice change.
R M Norris (2001) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction and out of hospital cardiac arrest. Resuscitation and thrombolytic treatment was evaluated on Hospital case fatality and lives saved/1000 patients treated (95% CI 70-96). Resuscitation and thrombolytic treatment for acute myocardial infarction resulted in 83 lives saved per 1000 patients treated (95% CI 70-96).
