Pre-hospital delay in Vietnamese patients hospitalized with a first acute myocardial infarction: A short report

Abstract: Background: Administration of coronary reperfusion therapy to patients with an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within the proper timeframe is essential in avoiding clinical complications and death. However, the extent of pre-hospital delay is unexplored in Vietnam. This report aims to describe the duration of pre-hospital delay of Hanoi residents hospitalized with a first AMI at the Vietnam National Heart Institute .   Methods: A total of 103 Hanoi residents hospitalized at the largest tertiary care medical … Show more

“…The use of PCI at the two participating hospitals was only 64%, which was lower than that reported in the National Vietnam Heart Institute study in Hanoi (approximately 70%) [10], which may be due to the lower proportion of patients diagnosed with a STEMI in the present study. Furthermore, the proportion of patients who delayed seeking medical care after >12 h from the onset of acute symptoms was higher in the present study compared to the study conducted at the National Heart Institute in Hanoi [11], which likely contributed to the lower utilization of PCI.…”

“…Computerized discharge printouts from the two participating hospitals were reviewed to identify patients with coronary heart disease related discharge diagnoses during 2018 using International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 codes I20-I25. We included all patients hospitalized with a primary or secondary discharge diagnosis of ICD-10 codes I21, I24 and I25.2-I25.8, and an approximate 30% random sampling of ICD-10 code I20, which we have previously shown has yielded few confirmed cases of AMI [9][10][11]. All computerized ECG interpretations were independently confirmed by trained physicians.…”

“…6 Nevertheless, many patients wait for several hours to apply to the hospital after the onset of MI symptoms, thus only prolonging the prehospital period. 7,8 The literature reveals various causes of the prehospital delay. One of these reasons is a lack of knowledge about MI.…”
