Predictors of in-hospital mortality for patients admitted with ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a real-world study using the Myocardial Infarction National Audit Project (MINAP) database

Abstract

The strongest predictors of in-hospital survival for STEMI were aspirin therapy given acutely and out-of-hospital thrombolysis, Previous STEMI models have focused on age, SBP and HR We have confirmed the importance of these predictors in the discrimination of death after STEMI, but also demonstrated that other potentially modifiable variables impact upon the prediction of short-term mortality.

Myocardial Infarction; Procedural Success of Primary Percutaneous Intervention in Patients With Acute St Segment Elevation

“…4 AMI is currently responsible for 10.6% of hospital mortality. 5 Acute rupture of the atherosclerotic plague leads to completer blockage of coronary arteries, is one of the serious menifestations of the coronary artery disease resulting in ST segment elevation MI. 6 STEMI management has always been a challenge as it needs prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.…”

Risk stratification for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction in the era of primary percutaneous coronary intervention

“…However stratifying patients by risk and calculating treatment effects with thrombolysis or PCI may be as effective. Such a pathway could be delivered with reduced overall cost and no less efficacy [60] .…”

Point of care testing in acute coronary syndromes: when and how?

“…The past few years have seen a palpable increase in the number of ACS risk scores 3 – 10. This is predominantly because of the wealth of data recorded by RCT and observational datasets, but also because of the relative ease by which simple risk modelling can now be undertaken using statistical software packages.…”
