Temporal trends and prognostic impact of pre-hospital delay in ST-elevation myocardial infarction—20-year observational study from the SWEDEHEART registry
Pre-hospital delay is an independent predictor of mortality. Whereas no declining trend was observed the last 20 years it is reassuring that a decrease of delay was found during the PPCI era. Women, elderly, and individuals with diabetes had consistently prolonged delay times and needs to be targeted in future interventions.
