Trends in acute coronary syndrome hospitalisation, incidence and mortality rates in young adults
BACKGROUND: Australian and international studies have reported an attenuation in previous declines in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) events in young adults. This study examines temporal trends in admission, mortality and incidence rates for ACS in men and women aged <55 years using multijurisdictional data for 2007-2016. METHODS: This population-based linked data study used hospital and mortality records from New South Wales, Western Australia and…
Invasive Coronary Angiography after Chest Pain Presentations to Emergency Departments
We investigated patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with chest pain to identify factors that influence the use of invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Using linked ED, hospitalisations, death and cardiac biomarker data, we identified people aged 20 years and over who presented with chest pain to tertiary public hospital EDs in Western Australia from 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2017 (ED chest pain cohort). We report patient character…
Disparities experienced by Aboriginal compared to non-Aboriginal metropolitan Western Australians in receiving coronary angiography following acute ischaemic heart disease
The disproportionate under-management of older Aboriginal IHD patients is of particular concern. Regardless of age, the disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians in receiving angiography for acute IHD in a metropolitan setting is mediated substantially by comorbidities. This constellation of health problems is a 'double-whammy' for Aboriginal people, predisposing them to IHD and also adversely impacting on their receipt of angio…
