Effects of Door-In to Door-Out Time on Mortality Among ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Transferred for Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention　- Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is now widely accepted. Recent guidelines have focused on total ischemic time, because shorter total ischemic time is associated with a more favorable prognosis. The door-in to door-out (DIDO) time, defined as time from arrival at a non-PCI-capable hospital to leaving for a PCI-capable hospital, may affect STEMI patient prognosis. However, a relevant meta-analysis is lacking. Methods and Results: We searched PubMed for clinical studies comparing short-term (30-day and in-hospital) mortality rates of STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI with DIDO times of ≤30 vs. >30 min. Two investigators independently screened the search results and extracted the data. R
