Gradual decline in the age-adjusted in-hospital mortality rate from STEMI-related cardiogenic shock irrespective of gender, with persistent higher mortality rate in women
Background
Recent improvements in the care of critically ill patients should lead to better outcome. The goal of this study was to evaluate the age-adjusted mortality rate from STEMI-related cardiogenic shock in the United States over the last 10 years using a large database based on gender.
Methods
The Nationwide Inpatient Sample database was utilized to calculate the age-adjusted mortality rate of cardiogenic shock from 1996 to 2006 based on ICD-9 coding in the setting of STEMI.
