Development of Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality and Readmission Models for Public Reporting on Hospital Performance in Canada

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.

Resource Utilization and Costs Associated With Cardiogenic Shock Complicating Myocardial Infarction

“… 7 Briefly, patients with a primary discharge diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were identified using a previously validated algorithm derived from International Classification of Diseases-10th revision (ICD-10) codes ( Supplemental Table 3 ). 18 We captured the presence of CS using the following criteria: 1) admission to an ICU, identified using validated algorithms; 19 2) treatment with vasoactive medications during hospitalization, as identified in the Critical Care Information Services database and in keeping with guideline-directed management of CS, 20 as performed previously; 21 and 3) evidence of multiple organ dysfunction, defined as a Multiorgan Dysfunction Score ≥ 2. 22 We excluded patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, as identified using validated algorithms.…”
