Factors associated with prolongation of eDAD

eDAD > 89.1 min
OR 95% CI P value
Age ≤ 64 years 1.00 [Ref.]
 65–74 years 1.25 0.80–1.97 0.33
 ≥ 75 years 2.01 1.29–3.12  < 0.01*
Women 0.70 0.45–1.09 0.12
Recurrent MI 0.96 0.54–1.69 0.89
No witness 1.64 1.14–2.35 0.01*
Onset in winter 0.82 0.57–1.18 0.29
Onset on weekends/holiday 1.03 0.69–1.53 0.89
Onset at night 1.68 1.16–2.44  < 0.01*
Killip class 3/4 on arrival 0.94 0.55–1.59 0.81
No EMS call 3.17 2.08–4.83  < 0.01*
Medical region and transport way
 Urban (direct admission) 1.00 [Ref.]
 Rural (direct admission) 0.98 0.65–1.50 0.94
 Urban (inter-facility transfer) 3.16 1.40–7.11  < 0.01*
 Rural (inter-facility transfer) 3.57 2.11–6.07  < 0.01*

Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) from logistic regression analysis indicating the likelihood of eDAD (estimated delay-in-arrival-at-the-door) > 89.1 min (median eDAD). OR > 1 indicates increased odds of prolongation of each time component. Respective reference categories = age ≤ 64 years, male gender, first occurrence of MI, presence of a witness, onset in summer, onset in the daytime, Killip class 1/2 on arrival, EMS call, and urban medical region (direct admission). CPC, cerebral performance category; MI, myocardial infarction; Daytime, 6:00 a.m–6:00 p.m; Nighttime, 6:00 p.m–6:00 a.m; urban medical regions, Sapporo, Kamikawa Chubu, and Minami Oshima medical regions; rural medical regions, regions outside the urban medical regions
