Abstract
Introduction: The EuroHOPE research developed the standardised methodology of the analysis of the healthcare process. Aim: The aims of the authors were to analyze the care of acute myocardial infarction in Hungary and to compare the results to those of the partner countries. Method: The authors analyzed the application of early and late invasive interventions, medication purchase, and mortality. The results were compared to Finnish, Norwegian, Italian, Scottish and Swedish data. Results: By the end of the observed period, approximately half of the patients received early treatment, which is an internationally acceptable result. Purchase of statins, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers was around 90%, but the application of beta-blockers has decreased for unknown reason. The mortality rate has improved, but it was still significantly worse than that in the partnering countries. One year mortality in the early intervention group was 1.5 times higher, and in the late intervention group was 2 times higher than the second worst results. Conclusions: The causal analysis concerning the professional activities, operational practices, and the role of the patients in the observed period is highly recommended. For more detailed analysis it is necessary to follow the trends and to separate the diagnoses of ST- elevation and non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(41), 1626–1634.
