Acute Myocardial Infarction During Pregnancy and the Puerperium in the United States.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To analyze trends in the incidence, in-hospital management, and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicating pregnancy and the puerperium in the United States. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Women 18 years or older hospitalized during pregnancy and the puerperium were identified from the National Inpatient Sample database from January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2014. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnosis and procedure codes were used to identify AMI during pregnancy-related admissions. RESULTS:Overall, 55,402,290 pregnancy-related hospitalizations were identified. A total of 4471 cases of AMI (8.1 [95% CI, 7.5-8.6] cases per 100,000 hospitalizations) occurred, with 922 AMI cases (20.6%) identified in the antepartum period, 1061 (23.7%) during labor and delivery, and 2390 (53.5%) in the postpartum period. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction occurred in 1895 cases (42.4%), and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction occurred in 2576 cases (57.6%). Among patients with pregnancy-related AMI, 2373 (53.1%) underwent invasive management and 1120 (25.1%) underwent coronary revascularization. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with AMI than in those without AMI during pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio, 39.9; 95% CI, 23.3-68.4; P<.001). The rate of AMI during pregnancy and the puerperium increased over time (adjusted odds ratio, 1.25 [for 2014 vs 2002]; 95% CI, 1.02-1.52). CONCLUSION:In patients hospitalized during pregnancy and the puerperium, AMI occurred in 1 of every 12,400 hospitalizations and rates of AMI increased over time. Maternal mortality rates were high. Additional research on the prevention and optimal management of AMI during pregnancy is necessary.

Project description:BACKGROUND:This study aimed to assess the risk factors and impact of acute myocardial infarction on in-hospital treatments, complications, outcomes, and resource utilization in hospitalized patients for heat stroke in the United States. METHODS:Hospitalized patients with a principal diagnosis of heat stroke were identified in the National Inpatient Sample dataset from the years 2003 to 2014. Acute myocardial infarction was identified using the hospital International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9), diagnosis of 410.xx. Clinical characteristics, in-hospital treatment, complications, outcomes, and resource utilization between patients with and without acute myocardial infarction were compared. RESULTS:A total of 3372 heat stroke patients were included in the analysis. Of these, acute myocardial infarction occurred in 225 (7%) admissions. Acute myocardial infarction occurred more commonly in obese female patients with a history of chronic kidney disease, but less often in male patients aged <20 years with a history of hypothyroidism. The need for mechanical ventilation, blood transfusion, and renal replacement therapy were higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction was associated with rhabdomyolysis, metabolic acidosis, sepsis, gastrointestinal bleeding, ventricular arrhythmia or cardiac arrest, renal failure, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, liver failure, neurological failure, and hematologic failure. Patients with acute myocardial infarction had 5.2-times greater odds of in-hospital mortality than those without myocardial infarction. The length of hospital stay and hospitalization cost were also higher when an acute myocardial infarction occurred while hospitalized. CONCLUSION:Acute myocardial infarction was associated with worse outcomes and higher economic burden among patients hospitalized for heat stroke. Obesity and chronic kidney disease were associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction, while young male patients and hypothyroidism were associated with decreased risk.

Project description:Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasingly used in acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, there are limited large-scale national data.Methods: Using the National Inpatient Sample database from 2000 to 2014, a retrospective cohort of AMI utilizing ECMO was identified. Use of percutaneous coronary intervention, intra-aortic balloon pump, and percutaneous left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was also identified in this population. Outcomes of interest included temporal trends in utilization of ECMO alone and with concomitant procedures (percutaneous coronary intervention, intra-aortic balloon pump, and percutaneous LVAD), in-hospital mortality, and resource utilization.Results: In ≈9 million AMI admissions, ECMO was used in 2962 (<0.01%) and implanted a median of 1 day after admission. ECMO was used in 0.5% and 0.3% AMI admissions complicated by cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest, respectively. ECMO was used more commonly in admissions that were younger, nonwhite, and with less comorbidity. ECMO use was 11× higher in 2014 as compared with 2000 (odds ratio, 11.37 [95% CI, 7.20-17.97]). Same-day percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 23.1%; intra-aortic balloon pump/percutaneous LVAD was used in 57.9%, of which 30.3% were placed concomitantly. In-hospital mortality with ECMO was 59.2% overall but decreased from 100% (2000) to 45.1% (2014). Durable LVAD and cardiac transplantation were performed in 11.7% as an exit strategy. Of the hospital survivors, 40.8% were discharged to skilled nursing facilities. Older age, male sex, nonwhite race, and lower socioeconomic status were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality with ECMO use.Conclusions: In AMI admissions, a steady increase was noted in the utilization of ECMO alone and with concomitant procedures (percutaneous coronary intervention, intra-aortic balloon pump, and percutaneous LVAD). In-hospital mortality remained high in AMI admissions treated with ECMO.

Project description:IntroductionAlthough individual antiretroviral drugs have been shown to be associated with elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, data are limited on the role of antiretroviral drug combinations. Therefore, we sought to investigate CVD risk associated with antiretroviral drug combinations.MethodsUsing an administrative health-plan dataset, risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with current exposure to antiretroviral drug combinations was assessed among persons living with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) across the U.S. from October 2009 through December 2014. To account for confounding-by-indication and for factors simultaneously acting as causal mediators and confounders, we applied inverse probability of treatment weighted marginal structural models to longitudinal data of patients.ResultsOver 114,417 person-years (n = 73,071 persons) of ART exposure, 602 cases of AMI occurred at an event rate of 5.26 (95% CI: 4.86, 5.70)/1000 person-years. Of the 14 antiretroviral drug combinations studied, persons taking abacavir-lamivudine-darunavir had the highest incidence rate (IR: 11/1000; 95% CI: 7.4-16.0) of AMI. Risk (HR; 95% CI) of AMI was elevated for current exposure to abacavir-lamivudine-darunavir (1.91; 1.27-2.88), abacavir-lamivudine-atazanavir (1.58; 1.08-2.31), and tenofovir-emtricitabine-raltegravir (1.35; 1.07-1.71). Tenofovir-emtricitabine-efavirenz was associated with reduced risk (0.65; 0.54-0.78). Abacavir-lamivudine-darunavir was associated with increased risk of AMI beyond that expected of abacavir alone, likely attributable to darunavir co-administration. We did not find an elevated risk of AMI when abacavir-lamivudine was combined with efavirenz or raltegravir.ConclusionThe antiretroviral drug combinations abacavir-lamivudine-darunavir, abacavir-lamivudine-atazanavir and tenofovir-emtricitabine-raltegravir were found to be associated with elevated risk of AMI, while tenofovir-emtricitabine-efavirenz was associated with a lower risk. The AMI risk associated with abacavir-lamivudine-darunavir was greater than what was previously described for abacavir, which could suggest an added risk from darunavir. The results should be confirmed in additional studies.

Project description:ImportanceMedicare and other organizations have focused on improving quality of care for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) over the last 2 decades. However, there is no comprehensive perspective on the evolution of outcomes for AMI during that period, and it is unknown whether temporal changes varied by patient subgroup, hospital, or county.ObjectiveTo provide a comprehensive evaluation of national trends in inpatient outcomes and costs of AMI during this period.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study included analysis of data from a sample of 4 367 485 Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries aged 65 years or older from January 1, 1995, through December 31, 2014, across 5680 hospitals in the United States. Analyses were conducted from January 15 to June 5, 2018.Main outcomes and measuresThirty-day all-cause mortality at the patient, hospital, and county levels. Additional outcomes included 30-day all-cause readmissions; 1-year recurrent AMI; in-hospital mortality; length of hospital stay; 2014 Consumer Price Index-adjusted median Medicare inpatient payment per AMI discharge; and rates of catheterization, percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery.ResultsThe cohort included 4 367 485 Medicare fee-for-service patients aged 65 years or older hospitalized for AMI during the study period. Between 1995 and 2014, the mean (SD) age of patients increased from 76.9 (7.2) to 78.2 (8.7) years, the percentage of female patients declined from 49.5% to 46.1%, the percentage of white patients declined from 91.0% to 86.2%, and the percentage of black patients increased from 5.9% to 8.0%. There were declines in AMI hospitalizations (914 to 566 per 100 000 beneficiary-years); 30-day mortality (20.0% to 12.4%; difference, 7.6 percentage points; 95% CI, 7.3-7.8 percentage points); 30-day all-cause readmissions (21.0% to 15.3%; difference, 5.7 percentage points; 95% CI, 5.4-6.0 percentage points); and 1-year recurrent AMI (7.1% to 5.1%; difference, 2.0 percentage points; 95% CI, 1.8-2.2 percentage points). There were increases in the 2014 Consumer Price Index-adjusted median (interquartile range) Medicare inpatient payment per AMI discharge ($9282 [$6969-$12 173] to $11 031 [$8099-$16 861]); 30-day inpatient catheterization (44.2% to 59.9%; difference, 15.7 percentage points; 95% CI, 15.4-16.0 percentage points); and inpatient percutaneous coronary intervention (18.8% to 43.3%; difference, 24.5 percentage points; 95% CI, 24.2-24.7 percentage points). Coronary artery bypass graft surgery rates decreased from 14.4% to 10.2% (difference, 4.2 percentage points; 95% CI, 3.9-4.3 percentage points). There was heterogeneity by hospital and county in the mortality changes over time.Conclusions and relevanceThis study shows marked improvements in short-term mortality and readmissions, with an increase in in-hospital procedures and payments, for the increasingly smaller number of Medicare beneficiaries with AMI.
