Social Determinants of Health and Mortality After Premature and Non-premature Acute Coronary Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe and compare the determinants of 1-year mortality after premature vs non-premature acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Patients and methods

Participants presenting with ACS were enrolled in a prospective registry of 29 hospitals in 4 countries, from January 22, 2012 to January 22, 2013, with 1-year of follow-up data. The primary outcome was all-cause 1-year mortality after premature ACS (men aged <55 years and women aged <65 years) and non-premature ACS (men aged ≥55 years and women aged ≥65 years). The associations between the baseline patient characteristics and 1-year mortality were analyzed in models adjusting for the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score and reported as adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (95% CI).
