Factors associated with time delay in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infraction (data for age given in Fig. 1)
| Percent change in total ischemic time, Mean (95% CI) | P value | |
|---|---|---|
| Male | 0.59 (−6.73 to 8.49) | 0.875 |
| History of CAD | −8.48 (−17.09 to 1.03) | 0.077 |
| History of hypertension | 1.36 (−6.18 to 9.49) | 0.725 |
| History of diabetes | 4.67 (−3.03 to 12.99) | 0.233 |
| Family History of CAD | −5.52 (−13.33 to 2.99) | 0.190 |
| Arrival (reference EMS call) | ||
| Transported from other hospital | 23.27 (15.24 to 31.86) | <0.001 |
| Self-transport | 5.40 (−0.54 to 11.69) | 0.074 |
Negative values correspond to lower total ischemic time.
CAD - coronary artery disease, EMS - emergency medical service
