Socioeconomic Disparities and In-Hospital Outcomes in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Case-Control Study
These findings highlight that SES significantly shapes in-hospital outcomes among patients with first-onset AMI. Patients from lower SES groups experienced more frequent complications and higher mortality. While comorbid conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity were more prevalent in lower SES groups, SES itself served as the primary exposure variable influencing outcomes, rather than being evaluated through the presence of comorbidities.
