Use of intravenous magnesium sulfate among patients with acute myocardial infarction in China from 2001 to 2015: China PEACE-Retrospective AMI Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

In 2001, Chinese guidelines for the care of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) included a new recommendation against the routine use of magnesium. We studied temporal trends and institutional variation in the use of intravenous magnesium sulfate in nationally representative samples of individuals hospitalised with AMI in China between 2001 and 2015.

Methods

In an observational study (China PEACE-Retrospective Study) of AMI care, we used a two-stage, random sampling strategy to create a nationally representative sample of 28 208 patients with AMI at 162 Chinese hospitals in 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2015. The main outcome is use of intravenous magnesium sulfate over time.

Results
