  2. Background • Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading cause of death in the United States. Its associated mortality and morbidity can be altered however by proven, effective therapies. • Healthcare providers have been working to improve the consistency and timely delivery of evidence-based treatments. Despite these efforts, studies continue to demonstrate quality gaps in AMI care in routine clinical practice. Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  3. Background • Recently, several studies found that patients presenting on weekends or during “off-hours” (weekday nights, weekends, and holidays) were less likely to receive guideline-based medications and/or timely reperfusion after AMI. • However, these studies have been inconsistent in their findings and have been in part limited by reflecting non-contemporary clinical practices, regional results and selected MI patients. Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  4. Aims of this Study • To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the influence of regular vs. off-hour AMI presentation on subsequent care and outcomes using the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Coronary Artery Disease (GWTG-CAD) national database. • More specifically, we examined differences in reperfusion strategies, timeliness of reperfusion, use of invasive procedures, early medical treatments and in-hospital mortality among AMI patients admitted during regular vs. off-hours. • We corroborated our findings in patients with ST-segment myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), in age and sex subgroups, and using an alternative definition for arrival time. Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  5. Methods Data Source and Study Sample • The primary data source was the Get with the Guidelines-Coronary artery disease (GWTG-CAD) database , which contained data on a total of 93,595 AMI patients treated at 379 hospitals between July 2000 and September 2005 admissions. • We excluded patients with missing or invalid arrival dates/times (n= 4,568), and transfer-in patients (n= 26,213)in whom initial treatments could not be ascertained with accuracy. • The final study population included included 62,814 AMI patients. Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  6. Methods Data Collection and Measures • Arrival time (regular vs. off-hours) was the primary independent variable. • Regular hours were defined as weekdays (Monday through Friday) 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Off-hours were defined as weeknights (7:00 PM to 7:00 AM), weekends and holidays. • Holidays included: New Year (December 31st and January 1st), Christmas holiday (December 24th and 25th), Memorial day, Independence, Labor and Thanksgiving days. Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  7. Methods Data Collection and Measures • The primary study outcome was in-hospital mortality. • Secondary outcomes included rates of: a) Quality of Care measures: - acute medical therapies (aspirin and beta blocker within 24 h) - reperfusion therapies in the STEMI cohort (fibrinolytic therapy, PCI, any reperfusion) - timeliness of reperfusion in the STEMI cohort (door-to- balloon within 90 min, and door-to-needle within 30 min) b) Invasive procedures (catheterization, PCI, CABG, revascularization) Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  8. Methods Statistical Analyses For the descriptive analysis: • patients’ sociodemographic • medical history variables • baseline clinical characteristics • invasive procedures • Quality of Care (QOC) are measures • in-hospital mortality were compared among patients arriving during off-hours vs. regular hours. • Multivariable logistic regression analyses, using the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) method, were performed to determine whether off-hour arrival independently influenced each measure and outcome. Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  9. The adjusted covariates inlcuded: age, sex, race, body mass index, insurance type, systolic BP, cardiac diagnosis, initial ECG with diagnostic ST-segment elevation or LBBB, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, renal insufficiency, COPD, heart failure, stroke, peripheral artery disease, and previous MI To assess the generalizability of our findings, we repeated the analysis using an alternative definition by re-classifing patients’ hospital arrival time into weekends (from 6:00 PM on Friday until 7:00 AM on Monday) and holidays vs. weekdays (from 7:00 AM on Monday until 6:00 PM on Friday). MethodsStatistical Analysis • Subgroup analyses were performed by sex and age (subdivided into 3 intervals: < 55 yr, 55-75 yr and > 75 yr). Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  10. Results • Of all AMI patients (n= 62,814), 54.1% (n= 33,982) arrived during off-hours. • Of the overall AMI cohort, 20,279 (32.3%) patients had STEMI, defined as having an initial ECG on arrival showing diagnostic ST-segment elevation or left bundle branch block (LBBB). • The remaining 67.7% of AMI patients constituted the NSTEMI cohort (n= 42,535).

  24. Conclusions • In this large cohort study of 62,814 patients with AMI from the multicenter GWTG-CAD database, we found that arrival during off-hours was associated with slightly lower rates of primary PCI and revascularization during the initial hospitalization, and significantly longer Door-to-Balloon times. • There were no measurable differences in in-hospital mortality in the overall AMI cohort, and in the STEMI and NSTEMI subpopulations. • Similar observations were made across most age and sex subgroups and using an alternative definition for arrival time (weekends/holidays vs. weekdays). Jneid, H. et al. Circulation May 2008.

  25. Conclusions Healthcare providers should continue to work to enhance the healthcare system during regular and off-hours and reduce existing disparities in cardiac care through multifaceted initiatives aiming to improve the timely delivery of evidence-based therapies.
