Differential benefits of cardiac care regionalization based on driving time to percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract: Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a life-threatening subtype of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), require access to timely reperfusion, particularly percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PCI has been shown to decrease mortality as well as other adverse events but is not provided in all hospitals. 1 For conditions requiring limited availability specialized interventions, the Institute of Medicine has supported regionalization, broadly defined as "an established network of resources … Show more

“…The serviced grid cells of each hospital are determined as grid cells which are within 30 minutes driving time to the hospital. The threshold of 30-minute driving time is selected because it is a frequently adopted threshold to determine the serviced patients of the hospital [46][47][48][49] . The estimated shortest distance between grid cells is calculated following the work of et al 50 .…”
