| Study year | Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | Model 2 | Model 3 | |
| 1986–1993 | 2.46(1.21;5.00) | 3.65(1.61;8.28) | 4.25(1.81;9.94) |
| 1995–2001 | 3.16(1.83;5.46) | 6.70(3.73;12.04) | 5.07(2.73;9.41) |
| 2003–2011 | 4.83(2.55;9.16) | 5.91(2.93;11.91) | 5.05(2.34;10.90) |
Model 1: Adjusted for age and sex
Model 2: Model 1 + comorbid conditions (hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation) and acute myocardial infarction order, length of hospital stay, and the development of hospital complications (atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and cardiogenic shock)
Model 3: Model 2 + and the receipt of in-hospital thrombolytic therapy and cardiac procedures (cardiac catheterization, percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery).
