Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction Among Patients With Laboratory-Confirmed Invasive Pneumococcal Disease: A Self-Controlled Case Series Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) events have been reported among patients with certain viral and bacterial infections. Whether invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) increases the risk of AMI remains unclear. We examined whether laboratory-confirmed IPD was associated with the risk of AMI.

Methods

We conducted a self-controlled case series analysis among adult Tennessee residents with evidence of an AMI hospitalization (2003-2019). Patient follow-up started 1 year before the earliest AMI and continued through the date of death, 1 year after AMI, or study end (December 2019). Periods for AMI assessment included the 7 to 1 days before IPD specimen collection (pre-IPD detection), day 0 through day 7 after IPD specimen collection (current IPD), day 8 to 28 after IPD spe
