Racial Disparities in Management and Outcomes of Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Complicating Myocardial Infarction: A National Study From England and Wales.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies of racial disparities in care of patients admitted with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have shown inconsistent results. Whether these differences in care exist in the universal healthcare system in United Kingdom is unknown.

Methods

Patients admitted with a diagnosis of AMI and OHCA between 2010 and 2017 from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) were studied. All patients were stratified based on ethnicity into a Black, Asian, or minority ethnicity (BAME) group vs a White group. We used multivariable logistic regression models to evaluate the predictors of clinical outcomes and treatment strategy.

Results

From 14,287 patients admitted with AMI complicated by OHCA, BAME
