Abstract
- [Abstract] Introduction and objectives. To determine the proportion of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) not admitted to a coronary care unit (CCU), the variables associated with admission into a CCU, and whether admission to a CCU, and the availability of coronary angiography in the same hospital, were associated with 28-day case fatality. Patients and method. Population-based registry of MI in patients 25 to 74 years of age, admitted during 1996-1998. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded, as well as management, clinical course and survival after 28 days. Hospitals were classified according to the availability of a CCU and catheterization laboratory (advanced hospital), CCU only (intermediate hospital) or neither (basic hospital). Admission to the CCU was also recorded. Results. In all, 9046 cases of MI were recorded; in 11.3% the patient was not admitted to a CCU. Age, smoking (OR=1.33; 95% CI, 1.08-1.64), non-Q MI (OR=0.62; 95% CI, 0.49-0.78) or undetermined location of MI (OR=0.34; 95% CI, 0.23-0.50), Killip 4 score on admission (OR=0.63; 95% CI, 0.40-1.00) and delay in arrival at the hospital >6 h were associated with CCU admission. Patients admitted to a CCU showed a lower case fatality in the first 24 h (4.2% vs 23.5%), which was independent of comorbidity, severity and treatment. The 24-hour survivors admitted to a basic hospital had higher case fatality (17.3% vs 7.8%) than other groups, which was related to differences in treatment. Conclusions. CCU admission is associated with a lower case fatality in the first 24 h. Admission to a basic hospital is associated with a higher 28-day case fatality even in patients who survive 24 h. [Resumen] Introducción y objetivos. Determinar el porcentaje de pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio (IAM) que no ingresan en una unidad de cuidados intensivos coronaries (UCIC), las variables asociadas al ingreso en una UCIC y si el ingreso en una UCIC, su disponibilidad y la de hemodinámica en el hospital se asocian a la letalidad a 28 días. Pacientes y método. Registro poblacional (1996-1998) de casos de IAM en pacientes con edades comprendidas entre los 25 y los 74 años. Se recogieron variables demográficas, clínicas, el ingreso en UCIC y la letalidad a los 28 días. Se clasificaron los hospitales según la disponibilidad de UCIC y hemodinámica (hospital avanzado), solamente UCIC (hospital intermedio) o ninguno (hospital básico). Resultados. Se registraron 9.046 casos; el 11,3% no ingresó en una UCIC. La edad, el consumo de tabaco (odds ratio [OR] = 1,33; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%, 1,08-1,64), el infarto sin onda Q (OR = 0,62; IC del 95%, 0,49-0,78) o ilocalizable (OR = 0,34; IC del 95%, 0,23-0,50), el grado Killip 4 al ingreso (OR = 0,63; IC del 95%, 0,40-1,00) y el retraso > 6 h en llegar al hospital se asociaron al ingreso en UCIC. Los pacientes ingresados en UCIC presentaban menor letalidad que los ingresados en hospitales básicos en las primeras 24 h (el 4,2 frente al 23,5%), independientemente de la gravedad del IAM y de las variables relacionadas con el tratamiento. Los su-pervivientes a 24 h que ingresaban en un hospital bÁsico presentaban mayor letalidad a los 28 días (el 17,3 frente al 7,8%), relacionada con las variables de tratamiento. Conclusiones. El ingreso en una UCIC se asocia a una menor letalidad de los pacientes con IAM en las primeras 24 h. El ingreso en un hospital bÁsico se asocia a una mayor letalidad a los 28 días.
