Effect of previous stroke on quality of inpatient care and long-term mortality risk of non-ST-segment myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Individuals with a previous stroke face an increased risk of Non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and may have a higher associated mortality. However, the impact of inpatient care quality during the NSTEMI admission on long-term outcomes remains unclear. To assess whether there were disparities in care and NSTEMI clinical outcomes between individuals with and without a previous stroke.

Methods and results

We analysed 425 274 adults hospitalized between January 2005 and March 2019, with NSTEMI from the UK Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, linked with Office for National Statistics mortality reporting. We examined long-term outcomes by previous stroke status and inpatient care quality for patients that survived to discharge using the o
