Adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) indicate the likelihood of poor outcome (CPC 3–5) from logistic regression analysis. OR > 1 indicates increased odds of poor outcome (CPC 3–5). Respective reference categories = age ≤ 64 years, male gender, first occurrence of MI, presence of a witness, onset in summer, onset on a weekday, onset in the daytime, Killip class 1/2 on arrival, 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; EMS, emergency medical services; TIT, total ischemic time; eDAD, estimated delay-in-arrival-to-door
