Early mortality post-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in France remains high. The multicentre France Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry includes every patient undergoing coronary angiography in France. We analyzed the prevalence and impact of unmodifiable and modifiable risk factors on 30-day survival in patients experiencing STEMI.Patients admitted for STEMI between 01/2014 and 12/2016 were included in the analysis. Patients with nonobstructive coronary artery disease, with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest without STEMI, were excluded. Prehospital, clinical and procedural data were collected prospectively by the cardiologist in the cath lab using medical reporting software. Information on outcomes, including mortality, was obtained by a dedicated research technician by phone calls or from medical records. Marginal Cox proportional hazards regression was used to test the predictive value for survival at 30 days in a multivariable analysis.Included were 2590 patients (74% men) aged 63 ± 14 years. During the first month, 174 patients (6.7%) died. After adjustment, unmodifiable variables significantly associated with reduced 30-day survival were: age > 80 years (prevalence 15%; hazard ratio [HR] 2.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.5-4.7), chronic kidney disease (2%; HR 5.3; 95% CI 2.6-11.1), diabetes mellitus (14%;
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
