Door-to-device time and mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention: insight from real world data of Thai PCI Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Timely reperfusion therapy is recommended for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and system delay <90 minutes and door-to-device (D2D) time <60 minutes are recommended by the 2017 ESC Guidelines for the management of STEMI patients and have been proposed as a performance measure for triaging patients for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, previous research produced contradictory results regarding the association between D2D time and mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations between D2D time and mortality in Thailand.

Methods

This cohort study included STEMI patients treated with primary PCI in 39 PCI centres in Thailand from February 27, 2018, to August 1, 2019. Patients were eligible
