Quality of care and long-term survival after ST-elevation myocardial infarction in adults with cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While current evidence suggests that the clinical outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are worse among patients with cancer, it is unknown what role the quality of care received during admission plays. We aimed to evaluate the association between care quality and patient survival after discharge.

Methods and results

A nationally-linked cohort of STEMI patients (January 2005-March 2019) were obtained from the UK Myocardial Infarction National Audit Project and UK national Hospital Episode Statistics Admitted Patient Care registries. We used the composite opportunity-based quality indicator to measure overall care quality. Survival outcomes were assessed using Cox proportional hazard models and Kaplan-Meier and cumulative survival curves. In total,
