Intracranial Hemorrhage Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction: An 18-Year National Study of Temporal Trends, Predictors, and Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: There is a paucity of contemporary data on the burden of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study sought to evaluate the temporal trends, predictors, and outcomes of ICH in AMI. The National Inpatient Sample (2000-2017) was used to identify adult (>18 years) AMI admissions with ICH. In-hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, length of stay, and measure of functional ability were the outcomes of interest. The discharge destination along with use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy were used to estimate functional burden. Of a total 11,622,528 AMI admissions, 23,422 (0.2%) had concomitant ICH. Compared to those without, the ICH cohort was on average older, female, of non-White race, had greater comorbidities, and had high
