Long-Term Predictors of Hospitalized Reinfarction after an Incident Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to compare characteristics of incident acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and first and second time reinfarctions in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, symptoms, treatment, clinical characteristics, medication and outcome. A further aim was to identify predictors for an increased risk of hospitalized reinfarction. Between 2000 and 2017, a total of 13,276 AMI cases were recorded by a population-based registry in the area of Augsburg, Germany, and were included in this study (11,871 incident events, 1217 cases of first-time reinfarction and 202 cases of second-time reinfarction). Median follow-up time was 5.3 years. For differences in baseline characteristics, Chi-square tests and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were calculated. To determine facto
