Background: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a severe manifestation of coronary artery disease, classified into unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In-hospital mortality in patients with ACS remains high despite the advancement of therapy. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of in-hospital mortality among ACS patients in West Java, Indonesia.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study analyzed retrospective secondary data of ACS patients who died during hospitalization in the period of July 2018 to June 2019 that were recorded in the ACS registry.Results: A total of 17 patients died during hospitalization in the study period. The mean age was 64.1 years, predominantly female (n=10). The prevalent diagnoses were STEMI (n=11) and NSTEMI (n=6). Interestingly, no patients had died from UA. Hypertension was the most frequent risk factor (11 of 17). Mortality among Killip Class I, II, III, and IV were 7, 5, 1, and 4 patients, respectively. The number of patients who died after underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) was lower (n=6) than those who did not undergo PCI or those without revascularization (n=11).Conclusions: The incidence of in-hospital mortality with acute coronary syndrome is high in females, STEMI diagnosis, Killip Class I, and no revascularization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
