Dataset Information

Acute myocardial infarction-related mortality among older adults (≥65 years) with malignancy in the U.S. from 1999 to 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in malignancy is a global threat, causing significant mortality and economic burden. They share common risk factors, highlighting the urgency of addressing this critical issue.

Objective

This study analyzed demographic trends and disparities in mortality rates due to AMI in malignancy among adults aged 65 and older from 1999 to 2020.

Methods

We used the CDC WONDER database to analyze Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) for AMI in malignancy patients (ICD-10 I21, C00-C97) from 1999 to 2020, stratifying by sex, race, geography, and metropolitan status. We calculated Average Annual Percentage Changes (AAPCs) and Annual Percentage Changes (APCs) per 100,000 with 95 % confidence intervals (CI) using Joinpoint regression.
