24-h PCI model does affect the outcome of STEMI patients: a population-based study.

ABSTRACT: Acute myocardial infarction has been the second leading cause of death in Taiwan. It's a novel issue to evaluate the relationship between the 24-h PCI service model and the outcome of STEMI patients. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of 24-h PCI service model in STEMI patients to improving survival rate. This population-based cohort study included those STEMI patients, older than 18 year-old, who had ever called emergency department from 2012 to 2018. We had two groups of our study participant, one group for STEMI patients with 24-h PCI model and the other group for STEMI patients with non-24-h PCI model. We used the Logistic regression model to analyze the risk of death within 30 days, emergency department (ED) revisits within 3 days, and readmission within 14 days.
