Factors of emergency medical services call delay and its impact on prognosis in STEMI patients: Findings from the CCA database-chest pain center registry
Background
A delay in calls to emergency medical services (EMS) accounts for a substantial portion of prehospital delay, which may affect the prognosis of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).The objective of this study was to identify factors contributing to EMS call delay in patients with STEMI and evaluate the association between EMS call delay and in-hospital mortality.
Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted between January 2020 and December 2023 from the China Chest Pain Center database. EMS call delays were described according to STEMI patients characteristics, and multivariable linear regression analysis was performed to explore independent factors related to EMS call delays. Locally weighted regression (LOESS) was used to fit the trend of mortality with EMS call delays. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between EMS call delay and in-hospital mortality.
Results
This study included a total of 115,113 STEMI patients. The median EMS call delay time was 46 min. Subgroup analysis revealed that characteristics associated with an EMS call time exceedi ng 60 min included age ≥ 65 years, female sex, non-persistent chest pain/tightness, and nighttime symptom onset. Cardiovascular mortality, in-hospital mortality, and the incidence of in-hospital complications all exhibited a linear positive correlation with EMS call delay time. The independent risk factors for EMS call delay were age, female sex, non-persistent chest pain/tightness, and nighttime symptom onset.
Conclusions
Public health initiatives should focus on older adults, females, and individuals with nighttime symptom onset or nonpersistent chest pain to promote timely EMS activation and reduce mortality.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Cardiology is devoted to cardiology in the broadest sense. Both basic research and clinical papers can be submitted. The journal serves the interest of both practicing clinicians and researchers.
In addition to original papers, we are launching a range of new manuscript types, including Consensus and Position Papers, Systematic Reviews, Meta-analyses, and Short communications. Case reports are no longer acceptable. Controversial techniques, issues on health policy and social medicine are discussed and serve as useful tools for encouraging debate.
