“…In Europe and Australia, the figures often reach more than 50% [80,128-130], whereas in the United States the figures are often around 50% or lower [131-133]. In 4 USA communities the use of EMS increased from 37% in 1987 to 44% in 2000 (p < 0.0001) [25].…”

“…Half of the articles reviewed did not report using a conceptual framework to define the variables of interest in their studies [16,19,20,22,26,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Of the ones that reported using a conceptual framework, eight [18,21,23,25,[36][37][38][39] have used Leventhal's model [40].…”

“…O'Donnell et al [42] reported that those who drove themselves to the hospital also arrived significantly early. However, calling [28,29,33,42], or visiting [21,22,43] the primary care provider (PCP) was associated with significant delay. Alonzo [33] reported that the median pre-hospital delay for those who called their PCP was 4 times longer than non-callers.…”

“…Several determinants are associated with pre-hospital delay, including low socio-economic status, female gender, co-morbidities (e.g., diabetes and coronary disease), the patient’s cognitive and emotional status, and determinants related to the healthcare provider [ 17 , 18 ]. In some reports, patients with primary care as the first medical contact (FMC) have an increased pre-hospital delay [ 7 , 19 21 ], often with less severe cardiac events than other patients [ 22 ]. Primary care clinics and telephone counselling services are frequently the FMC for patients with a suspected MI [ 7 , 21 ], as symptoms related to MI often are not identified as cardiac [ 23 ].…”

“…Pre-hospital delay in MI is related to the context [ 22 , 27 ], and research on this issue should be based on data-sets that include relevant socio-demographic and healthcare-related data. The northern Swedish setting is characterised by long distances to the hospital, an aged population, and low to average education level.…”
