Impact of changes treatments on outcomes in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients real-life health care has not been documented. All STEMI cases (n = 105.674) registered the nation-wide SWEDEHEART registry between 1995 and 2014 were included followed for fatal non-fatal up to 20 years. Most treatment occurred from 1994 2008. Evidence-based increased: reperfusion 66.2 81.7%; primary percutaneous coronary intervention: 4.5 78.0%; dual antiplatelet therapy 0 89.6%; statin: 14.1...

The clinical effect of routine oxygen therapy in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction who do not have hypoxemia at baseline is uncertain.In this registry-based randomized trial, we used nationwide Swedish registries for patient enrollment and data collection. Patients an saturation 90% or higher were randomly assigned to receive either supplemental (6 liters per minute 6 12 hours, delivered through open face mask) ambient air.A total 6629 enrolled. median duration was 11.6 the...

Abstract Aims Trends in characteristics, management, and survival out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in-hospital (IHCA) were studied the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Registry (SCRR). Methods results The SCRR was used to study 106 296 cases of OHCA (1990–2020) 30 032 IHCA (2004–20) whom resuscitation attempted. In OHCA, increased from 5.7% 1990 10.1% 2011 remained unchanged thereafter. Odds ratios [ORs, 95% confidence interval (CI)] for 2017–20 vs. 1990–93 2.17 (1.93–2.43)...

Abstract Introduction Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for contacting emergency medical services (EMS). It difficult EMS personnel to distinguish between patients suffering from a high-risk condition in need prompt hospital care and suitable non-conveyance. A vast majority with chest are therefore transported department (ED) further investigation even if not necessary. Improved prehospital assessment risk stratification, thus accurately safely identifying non-conveyance, could...

Abstract Introduction Studies examining the factors linked to survival after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have either aimed describe characteristics and outcomes OHCA in different parts world, or focused on certain whether they were associated with survival. Unfortunately, this approach does not measure how strong each factor is predicting OHCA. Aim To investigate relative importance 16 well-recognized at time point ambulance arrival, before any interventions medications given, by...

In the DETO2X-AMI trial (Determination of Role Oxygen in Suspected Acute Myocardial Infarction), we compared supplemental oxygen with ambient air normoxemic patients presenting suspected myocardial infarction and found no significant survival benefit at 1 year. However, important secondary end points were not yet available. We now report prespecified cardiovascular death composite all-cause hospitalization for heart failure.In this pragmatic, registry-based randomized clinical trial, used a...
