Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • in-hospital mortality

    at hospital discharge

Study Arms (2)

intervention group

patients presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and received emergency cardiac catheterization between March 1, 2007 and Oct. 31, 2007

Other: acute myocardial infarction checklist

control group

patients presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction and received emergency cardiac catheterization between April 1, 2006 and Feb. 28, 2007

Interventions

acute myocardial infarction checklistOTHER

For every patient fulfilling the criteria of enrollment, an acute myocardial infarction checklist was incorporated into the patient's medical records at emergency department immediately after a diagnosis of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction was made. All the time sequences concerning different managements at different locations were recorded by nurses and/or physicians as instructions on the checklist.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

All patients with diagnostic criteria of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction who were preparing for emergency cardiac catheterization

You may qualify if:

  • all patients who presented to the emergency department of Far Eastern Memorial Hospital within 12 hours of the onset of ischemic chest pain
  • patients with diagnostic criteria of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram, e.g. at least 0.1 mV in two or more contiguous electrocardiographic leads or a new onset of bundle branch block
  • patients were preparing for emergency cardiac catheterization

You may not qualify if:

  • patients who did not fulfill the diagnostic criteria of acute myocardial infarction on electrocardiogram
  • patients who were not eligible for cardiac catheterization
  • patients who refused cardiac catheterization
  • patients who suffered from acute myocardial infarction after admission to ward or intensive care unit for any reason
  • patients who had an ambiguous diagnosis that the decision of emergency cardiac catheterization was made after admission to ward or intensive care unit
