Abstract
Abstract
Background
Door to balloon time is a crucial factor of mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. However, the factors that contribute to failure of achieving door to balloon time ≤ 90 min in an electrocardiogram triage system remain unknown.
Methods
This single-center retrospective observational study collected data from consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction from April 2016 to March 2021. The primary outcome was the failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to predict factors associated with failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min.
Results
In total, 190 eligible patients were included. Of these, the 139 (73.2%) patients with door to balloon time ≤ 90 min were significantly younger compared to those with door to balloon time > 90 min (p = 0.02). However, there was no significant difference in sex and timing of hospital arrival between the door to balloon time ≤ 90 and > 90 min groups. Presence of chest pain and ambulance usage were significantly more frequent in patients with door to balloon time ≤ 90 min (p ≤ 0.01, p = 0.02, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that absence of chest pain (adjusted odds ratio 4.76; 95% confidence interval, 2.04–11.1; p < 0.01) and non-ambulance usage (adjusted odds ratio 3.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.57–7.94; p < 0.01) are predictive factors of failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min.
Conclusion
Patients without chest pain as the chief complaint or non-ambulance usage were significantly associated with the failure to achieve door to balloon time ≤ 90 min.
