Association between patients’ characteristics and the use of reperfusion therapy. A hierarchical logistic regression model was clustered for patients within hospital geographic regions, adjusted for patients’ individual characteristics (age, sex, medical insurance, time from symptom onset to admission, severe clinical conditions at admission [acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest], heart rate, systolic blood pressure, eGFR, diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure, smoking, history of disease [coronary heart disease, renal failure, and cerebrovascular disease]), and hospital characteristics (economic level of hospital location). CI: Confidence interval; CHD: Coronary heart disease; eGFR: Estimated glomerular filtration rate; GDP: Gross domestic product; OR: Odds ratio.
