Age-specific associations of invasive treatment with long-term mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction: Results of a real-world cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the age-specific association between invasive treatment, that is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) at acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and all-cause long-term mortality.

Methods

The analysis was based on 4964 hospitalized AMI patients (age 25-84 years) registered by the population-based Augsburg Myocardial Infarction Registry between 2010 and 2017. The median follow-up time was 4.7 years (IQR: 2.7; 6.8). All-cause mortality was obtained by regularly checking the vital status of all registered AMI patients in cooperation with the regional population registries. In multivariable adjusted Cox regression analyses the age-specific associations between invasive therapy (PCI or CABG versus no invasive therapy)
