Zusammenfassung: | Aim:
We aimed to study in-hospital mortality and long-term survival in elderly compared to younger patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the era of primary angioplasty.
Methods and results:
This was a prospective cohort study. All consecutive STEMI-patients admitted to our hospital between September 2005–December 2011 were included in a local registry. Predefined variables were registered during hospital admission. Vital status was obtained from the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry with censoring date 31 December 2011. Adjusted effects of age ⩾80 years on in-hospital- and long-term mortality were determined using propensity score analysis. Of 4525 registered STEMI patients, 600 (13%) were octogenarians or older. In-hospital mortality was 17% in patients ⩾80 years and 4% in patients |
