Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the survival impact of regionalization of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) hospitals in the U.S. Risk-standardized mortality rates (RSMRs) between PCI hospitals and non-PCI hospitals within the same health care regions were analyzed. The study suggests that regionalizing AMI care to PCI hospitals can reduce mortality rates, however, survival outcomes varies across the regions.
