Impact of COVID-19 on admission and in-hospital mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction in Korea: An interrupted time series analysis
Overall, we found that COVID-19 had an impact on admission rates of patients with AMI but did not have a significant impact on in-hospital mortality. However, we also found differential impacts by sex, age, and socioeconomic status, indicating some may be more vulnerable. This highlights the importance of identifying and supporting these vulnerable populations to prevent poorer health outcomes.
