Statistical findings and outcomes of acute coronary syndrome patients during COVID-19 pandemic: A cross sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Time to treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) can be a matter of life or death considering its major contribution to cardiovascular mortality. The sudden outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease in 2019 (COVID-19) caused great uncertainty in achieving ACS time-frame goals. This study assesses ACS presentation time and outcomes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

A total of 1287 ACS patients were included in this cross-sectional study. We compared mortality and other outcomes during hospital admission. Before-COVID was deemed as admission between March 2018 and February 2020, while admission between March 2020 and February 2022 was deemed as during-COVID. The association of admission on outcomes was measured using regression statistics.
