Early survival after acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation: What could be improved? Insights from France PCI French registry.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2022 September 3
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%; HR 1.6; 95% CI 1.0-2.5), anterior or circumferential electrical localization (39%; HR 2.0; 95% CI 1.4-2.9), and Killip class 2, 3, or 4 (7%; HR 3.4; 95% CI 1.9-5.9; 2%; HR 10.1; 95% CI 5.3-19.4; 4%; HR 18; 95% CI 10.8-29.8, respectively). Among modifiable variables, total ischemic time > 3 hours (68%; HR 1.8; 95% CI 1.1-3.0), lack of appropriate premedication (18%; HR 2.2; 95% CI 1.5-3.3), and post-PCI TIMI < 3 (6%; HR 4.9; 95% CI 3.2-7.6) were significantly associated with reduced 30-day survival. Most predictors of 30-day survival post-STEMI are unmodifiable, but outcomes might be improved by optimizing modifiable factors, most importantly ischemic time and appropriate premedication.
