Stroke complicating cardiac catheterisation was associated with an increased risk of readmission, with a significantly higher hazard of readmission for stroke noted. Despite minimal functional impairment based on modified Rankin score, stroke was associated with a significant risk of early and cumulative mortality. Stroke incidence remained stable over the study period despite changes in procedural practice. Conclusions: The incidence and functional severity of stroke remains low despite evolving procedural practice with a stable incidence over time despite changes in procedural practice; however, post-procedural stroke confirms an increased mortality hazard.]]> Wed 02 Mar 2022 12:28:28 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47644 Tue 24 Jan 2023 14:44:49 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36539 p = 0.008). MAMI patients compared to treated STEMI patients had higher 30 day readmission (31.6% vs 3.3%, p = 0.001) and longer length of stay (5.5 vs 4.3 days p = 0.029). Inaccurate identification of STEMI on electrocardiogram (72%) and diagnostic uncertainty (65%) were associated with MAMI. The Glasgow algorithm to identify STEMI was utilised on 57% of occasions, with 93% accuracy. Conclusion: Mortality following MAMI is high particularly in smaller rural hospitals. MAMI results in increased length of stay and readmission rate. Electrocardiogram interpretation and diagnostic accuracy require improvement to determine if this improves patient outcomes.]]> Fri 29 May 2020 17:22:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48470 Fri 17 Mar 2023 15:08:44 AEDT ]]>
