Divergent trends in the incidence and mortality of acute myocardial ischaemic syndrome, especially in women. Evidence from Finland in 1996-2021.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although the incidence and case fatality (CF) of acute myocardial ischaemic syndrome (AMIS) have declined in recent decades, some studies have suggested a potential stagnation in this decline. We examined if a similar development in AMIS trends can be observed in Finland from 1996 to 2021 among persons aged 35-74 years.

Methods

We linked Finnish country-wide Hospital Discharge- and Causes of Death- Registers covering the first non-fatal and fatal myocardial ischaemic events (total 69 906 442 person-years at risk). We analyzed the incidence, mortality, and 28-day CF and their trends using negative binomial, Poisson, segmented and logistic regression adjusting for age and sex.

Results

The analysis consisted of 186 489 non-fatal and 72 907 fatal myocardial isch
