2. Materials and Method
2.1 Study Design
This study is using retrospective cohort design in order to
evaluate the difference of in hospital clinical outcome, complications,
length of stay, and treatment cost between STEMI patients treated with
early PPCI, late PPCI, and optimal medical therapy. The research
protocol was approved by the Health Research Ethics Commission
Saiful Anwar General Hospital.
2.2 Subjects
Subjects were STEMI patients pooled using Saiful Anwar
General Hospital ACS Registry within duration of 4 years (2018-2021).
Consecutive sampling is used as sampling method. The inclusion
criteria were as follows: (1) age >18 years old; (2) willing to partici-
pate in the study; (3) all STEMI patients undergoing PPCI. Subjects
were excluded if they fall into one or more of the following criteria: (1)
incomplete data sets; (2) unstable angina pectoris and/or NSTEMI
patients; (3) STEMI patients undergoing fibrinolytic without
subsequent PPCI; (4) patients with underlying structural heart disease
and/or accompanied with/without other underlying metabolic
disorder.
2.3 Intervention category
Selected subjects were divided into three categories: (1)
Patients receiving early PPCI defined as PCI performed within 12 hours
onset of symptoms, PCI performed <90 minutes after failed fibrinolyt-
ic, and PCI performed >12 hours after onset of symptoms with unstable
hemodynamic; (2) Patients receiving late PPCI defined as PCI
performed >12 hours after onset of symptoms with stable hemodynam-
ic, PCI performed >90 minutes after failed fibrinolytic, and PCI
performed >48h after onset of symtoms; (3) Patients receiving optimal
medical therapy defined as STEMI patients which did not undergo
reperfusion treatment, e.g. PPCI and/or fibrinolytic. The grouping
criteria was divided based on timeframe according to 2017 ESC Guide-
line for the management of acute myocardial infarction in patients
presenting with ST-segment elevation.
2.4 Clinical Outcomes
The primary outcome was in hospital adverse events defined
as all-cause mortality during hospitalization; the secondary outcomes
were cardiovascular (CV) complications consisted of: (1) cardiogenic
shock; (2) acute heart failure; (3) pneumonia; (4) stroke; (5) acute
renal failure; (6) cardiac arrest; (7) arrhythmia defined as VT/VF,
AF/SVT, TAVB/Junctional/Third degree AV Block. We also provide
analysis regarding length of stay and treatment cost during hospitaliza-
tion in each group.
2.5 Data Analysis
Baseline characteristics were analyzed using univariate
analysis and the data were presented as mean ± standard deviation
(SD). Independent t-test was performed to differentiate mean between
11
intervention group. Normality test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was
conducted to determine the normality and homogeneity of the data.
Finally we performed multivariate logistic regression test to establish
the relationship of PPCI as a predictor for in hospital adverse events in
STEMI patients. Stratification and multivariate analysis was done to
identify potential confounding factors and evaluate the strength
between variables. All data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22.0.
P<0.05 was considered significant.
