Clinical Epidemiology of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Setif, Algeria: Finding from the Setif-AMI Registry

Abstract

Objectives and Introduction: According to the most recent global burden diseases study (2017), Algeria and the Middle East countries are classified as high mortality countries of acute coronary syndrome, with a 26% increase in period from 1990 to 2017. The objectives of this article are first to detail the methodology and design of the Setif-AMI registry, 4-year registration criteria for patients with STEMI (ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction) and NSTEMI (Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction), to explore the different socio-demographic, clinical, therapeutic and epidemiological variables used in our database and measure the prevalence of STEMI and NSTEMI as well as the prevalence of risk factors. Materials and Methods:The Setif-AMI registry was initiated in January 2015, it is located at the cardiology department of the University Hospital of Setif (UHS) with the initiative of the cardiovascular research laboratory under the supervision of the management of the health and the population of Setif. The establishment of the registry required the use of local hospitals and sources of information, the analysis of death records and records of autopsies listed. This is a prospective study over a 4-year period, 2015-2018.Results: 3420 patients with the inclusion criteria were registered. Prevalence of 28.54% for men and 11.65% for women, the hospital mortality rate of 5%. Conclusion:Based on data from the Setif-AMI registry, we have prevalence and a mortality rate in our population.This experience has allowed us to demonstrate the possibility of providing useful information and little available in our country despite difficulties in data sources that needs to be improved.

Prevalence, risk factors and short term outcomes of acute myocardial infarction in Baghdad teaching hospital, 2019

“…NSTEMI accounted for 47.52% of cases (1317 patients). (16) This current study shows that the frequency of STEMI among males was 50% and 20.4% for females while NSTEMI among males was 16.6% and 13% among females.While Tunisia study in revealed that STEMI in males constituted 37.8% and 14.6% females while NSTEMI among males was 32.1% and 15.4% females . (16) .…”

(16) . These differences in the prevalence of acute MI(STEMI/NSTEMI) and frequency among males and females might be due to difference in the sample size and duration of study.…”

Baseline clinical characteristics and Patient profile of the TURKMI: First results of nation-wide acute myocardial infarction registry in Turkey

“…Patients with STEMI were significantly younger than the patients with NSTEMI, which might be explained by the higher rates of collaterals in older patients. TURKMI patients were similar in age compared with Iranian ( 21 ), Mexican ( 23 ), and Algerian ( 20 ) MI patients at the time of the index MI ( Fig. 5 ), whereas the average MI age was younger (56 years) in Saudi Arabian MI patients ( 19 ).…”
