Whether this has been associated with delayed reperfusion and worse outcomes in French patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unknown.<h4>Aim</h4>To compare the rate of STEMI admissions, treatment delays, and outcomes between the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in France and the equivalent period in 2019.<h4>Methods</h4>In this nationwide French survey, data from consecutive STEMI patients from 65 centres referred for urgent revascularization between 1 March and 31 May 2020, and between 1 March and 31 May 2019, were analysed. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital death or non-fatal mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction.<h4>Archives of cardiovascular diseases340-351https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9056233biostudies-literatureST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Management and association with prognosis during the COVID-19 pandemic in France.PMC9056233MODIF registry investigatorsBouisset FBecker MBonello LDuband BMeneveau NLattuca BNoirclerc NMotreff PRobin MZeitouni MJuenin LSemaan CMartin ASIsaaz KTirouvanziam AAdjedj JUhry SBoukantar MPansieri MBonnet GBelle LKerneis MVignac MVan Belle EChamandi CPanagides VMoussa KPalermo VAngoulvant DRiviere NYvorel CKhalife KVincent FBenamer HCetran LLesizza PCayla GManchuelle APamart TDeney ADe Poli FfalseST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Management and association with prognosis during the COVID-19 pandemic in France.<h4>Background</h4>Systems of care have been challenged to control progression of the COVID-19 pandemic.
