Résumé
Objective To study the change of baseline clinical characteristics including prehospital delayed time(PDT),modes of transportation and treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)in the past 3 years.Methods We used the same questionnaire to accurately collect and retrospectively analyze the data regarding clinical characteristics of all 1004 patients with AMI,who consecutively presented to the Emergency Unit and Emergency Intensive Care Unit(EICU)of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from March 12th 2004 to March 11th 2007.According to the time of onset of the disease,all patients were divided into 3 groups:group A(from Mar.12th 2004 tO Mar.11th 2005),group B(Mar.12th 2005 to Mar 11th 2006)and group C(Mar.12th 2006 to Mar.11th 2007).Clinieal characteristics and treatment were compared.Results There were significant differences in the number of patients with histories of stroke,coronary artery disease or smoking among the three groups(P＜0.05).No obvious differences in the median of PDT were found among the three groups(P＞0.05).More patients accepted reperfusive therapy in group C compared to group A(P＜0.05),although the mortality rates of AMI among these 3 years were similar.Conclusion Though more people started to have accepted reperfusion therapy,mortality failed to show an obvious decrease.Subject as how tO shorten the PDT called for further study.
Résumé
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To determine the relationship between prehospital delay time (PDT) and other associated factors on mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively analyzed factors associated with mortality in 580 patients with acute myocardial infarction presented to the Emergency Ward and Emergency Intensive Care Unit (EICU) of Beijing Anzhen Hospital from March 2004 to March 2006 (428 males, average age: 60.7 +/- 12.9 years). The patients were divided to 3 groups according various therapies: thrombolysis, PCI/CABG or symptomatic medication groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The median PDT was 130 min. Thrombolysis, PCI/CABG and medical therapy were applied in 122 (21.0%), 266 (45.9%) and 192 (33.1%) patients respectively. PDT was significantly longer in patients receiving medical therapy (290.9 min +/- 3.4 min) compared to patients treated with thrombolysis (104.5 min +/- 2.3 min) and PCI/CABG (119.1 min +/- 2.3 min, all P < 0.05). The overall mortality rate was 5.3% (31/580) and all occurred in patients with medical therapy group mostly due to irreversible ventricular fibrillations. Old age (OR = 1.047, P = 0.004), diabetes mellitus (OR = 2.159, P = 0.02) and PDT (OR = 2.159, P = 0.023) are independent predict factors for mortality.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Coronary Revascularisation by thrombolysis, PCI or CABG early post acute myocardial infarction is the key issue for reducing mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.</p>
