Trends in 10-Year Outcomes Among Medicare Beneficiaries Who Survived an Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Short-term outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have improved, but little is known about longer-term outcomes.

Objective

To evaluate trends in 10-year all-cause mortality and hospitalization for recurrent AMI by demographic subgroups and examine the association between recurrence and mortality.

Design, setting, and participants

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who survived after AMI from 1995 to 2019. Subgroups were defined by age, sex, race, dual Medicare-Medicaid-eligible status, and residence in health priority areas (geographic areas with persistently high adjusted mortality and hospitalization rates). Data were analyzed from October 2020 to February 2022.

Exposure

Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries who survived an AMI.
