Incidence and predictors of acute limb ischemia in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe the incidence and predictors of acute limb ischemia (ALI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS).

Methods

Patients with index hospitalizations for AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock from 2016 to 2019 in the US National Readmission Database were identified. We evaluated the incidence of ALI and its associated mortality, length of stay, and cost of hospitalization. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine independent predictors of ALI in this population.

Results

A total of 84,615 patients had AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock and 1302 (1.54%) developed ALI. The rates of ALI increased from 1.29% in 2016 to 1.66% in 2019 (P ≤ .002). The use of microaxial mechanical circulatory suppo
