Background: There are limited data on complications in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) admissions receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: Adult (>18 years) admissions with AMI receiving ECMO support were identified from the National Inpatient Sample database between 2000 and 2016. Complications were classified as vascular, lower limb amputation, hematologic, and neurologic. Outcomes of interest included temporal trends, in-hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, and length of stay. Results: In this 17-year period, in ~10 million AMI admissions, ECMO support was used in 4608 admissions (<0.01%)—mean age 59.5 ± 11.0 years, 75.7% men, 58.9% white race. Median time to ECMO placement was 1 (interquartile range [IQR] 0–3) day. Complications were noted in 2571 (55.8%) admissions—vascular 6.1%, lower limb amputations 1.1%, hematologic 49.3%, and neurologic 9.9%. There was a steady increase in overall complications during the study period (21.1% in 2000 vs. 70.5% in 2016). The cohort with complications, compared to those without complications, had comparable adjusted in-hospital mortality (60.7% vs. 54.0%; adjusted odds ratio 0.89 [95% confidence interval 0.77–1.02]; p = 0.10) but longer median hospital stay (12 [IQR 5–24] vs. 7 [IQR 3–21] days), higher median hospitalization costs ($458,954 [IQR 260,522–737,871] vs. 302,255 [IQR 173,033–623,660]), fewer discharges to home (14.7% vs. 17.9%), and higher discharges to skilled nursing facilities (44.1% vs. 33.9%) (all p < 0.001). Conclusions: Over half of all AMI admissions receiving ECMO support develop one or more severe complications. Complications were associated with higher resource utilization during and after the index hospitalization.

Background: Although extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used for hemodynamic support for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI), there are limited data on the outcomes stratified by the timing of initiation of this strategy. Methods: Adult (>18 years) AMI admissions with IHCA were identified using the National Inpatient Sample (2000–2017) and the timing of ECMO with relation to IHCA was identified. Same-day vs. non-simultaneous ECMO support for IHCA were compared. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality, temporal trends, hospitalization costs, and length of stay. Results: Of the 11.6 million AMI admissions, IHCA was noted in 1.5% with 914 (<0.01%) receiving ECMO support. The cohort receiving same-day ECMO (N = 795) was on average female, with lower comorbidity, higher rates of ST-segment-elevation AMI, shockable rhythm, and higher rates of complications. Compared to non-simultaneous ECMO, the same-day ECMO cohort had higher rates of coronary angiography (67.5% vs. 51.3%; p = 0.001) and comparable rates of percutaneous coronary intervention (58.9% vs. 63.9%; p = 0.32). The same-day ECMO cohort had higher in-hospital mortality (63.1% vs. 44.5%; adjusted odds ratio 3.98 (95% confidence interval 2.34–6.77); p < 0.001), shorter length of stay, and lower hospitalization costs. Older age, minority race, non-ST-segment elevation AMI, multiorgan failure, and complications independently predicted higher in-hospital mortality in IHCA complicating AMI. Conclusions: Same-day ECMO support for IHCA was associated with higher in-hospital mortality compared to those receiving non-simultaneous ECMO support. Though ECMO-assisted CPR is being increasingly used, careful candidate selection is key to improving outcomes in this population.

Introduction: There is a paucity of contemporary data on the burden of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: The National Inpatient Sample database (2000 to 2017) was used to evaluate in-hospital burden of ICH in adult (>18 years) AMI admissions. In-hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, length of stay, and measure of functional ability were the outcomes of interest. The discharge destination along with use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) were used to estimate functional burden. Results: Of a total 11,622,528 AMI admissions, 23,422 (0.2%) had concomitant ICH. Compared to those without, admissions with ICH were on average older, female, of non-White race, with greater comorbidities, and higher rates of arrhythmias (all p<0.001). Female sex, non-White race, ST-segment-elevation AMI presentation, use of fibrinolytics, mechanical circulatory support and invasive mechanical ventilation were identified as individual predictors of ICH. The AMI admissions with ICH received less frequent coronary angiography (46.9% vs. 63.8%), percutaneous coronary intervention (22.7% vs. 41.8%), and coronary artery bypass grafting (5.4% vs. 9.2%) as compared to those without (all p<0.001). ICH was associated with a significantly higher in-hospital mortality (41.4% vs. 6.1%; adjusted OR 5.65 [95% CI 5.47-5.84]; p<0.001), and adjusted temporal trends showed a steady decrease in in-hospital mortality over the 18-year period (Figure 1A). AMI-ICH admissions also had longer hospital length of stay, higher hospitalization costs, and greater use of PEG (all p<0.001). In AMI-ICH survivors (N=13, 689), 81.3% had a poor functional outcome indicating severe morbidity and temporal trends revealed a slight increase over the study period (Figure 1B). Conclusions: ICH causes a substantial burden in AMI due to associated higher in-hospital mortality, resource utilization, and poor functional outcomes.

Background There are limited contemporary data prevalence and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results Adult (>18 years) AMI admissions using the National Inpatient Sample database (2000–2017) were evaluated for in‐hospital AIS. Outcomes of interest included in‐hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, length of stay, discharge disposition, and use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. The discharge destination was used to classify survivors into good and poor outcomes. Of a total 11 622 528 AMI admissions, 183 896 (1.6%) had concomitant AIS. As compared with 2000, in 2017, AIS rates increased slightly among ST‐segment–elevation AMI (adjusted odds ratio, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.04–1.15]) and decreased in non–ST‐segment–elevation AMI (adjusted odds ratio, 0.47 [95% CI, 0.46–0.49]) admissions ( P <0.001). Compared with those without, the AIS cohort was on average older, female, of non‐White race, with greater comorbidities, and higher rates of arrhythmias. The AMI‐AIS admissions received less frequent coronary angiography (46.9% versus 63.8%) and percutaneous coronary intervention (22.7% versus 41.8%) ( P <0.001). The AIS cohort had higher in‐hospital mortality (16.4% versus 6.0%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.75 [95% CI, 1.72–1.78]; P <0.001), longer hospital length of stay, higher hospitalization costs, greater use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, and less frequent discharges to home (all P <0.001). Among AMI‐AIS survivors (N=153 318), 57.3% had a poor functional outcome at discharge with relatively stable temporal trends. Conclusions AIS is associated with significantly higher in‐hospital mortality and poor functional outcomes in AMI admissions.

Introduction: There are limited contemporary data on prevalence and outcomes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Adult (>18 years) AMI admissions using the National Inpatient Sample database (2000-2017) were evaluated for in-hospital AIS. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, length of stay, and use of tracheostomy and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). The discharge destination was used to classify AIS survivors into good and poor functional outcomes with poor (moderate to severe disability) defined as discharge to extended care facility including short-term hospital/rehabilitation facility, intermediate care or long-term care facilities. Results: Of a total 11,622,528 AMI admissions, 183,896 (1.6%) had concomitant AIS. Over the 18-year period, AIS rates were stable in STEMI admissions and decreased in NSTEMI (p<0.001). Compared to those without, the AIS cohort was on average older, female, of non-White race, with greater comorbidities, and higher rates of arrhythmias. The AMI-AIS admissions received less frequent coronary angiography (46.9% vs. 63.8%) and percutaneous coronary angiography (22.7% vs 41.8%) (p<0.001). Female sex, non-White race, higher comorbidity, ST-segment-elevation AMI presentation, atrial fibrillation/flutter, use of mechanical circulatory support and invasive mechanical ventilation were identified as individual predictors of AIS after AMI. The AIS cohort had higher in-hospital mortality (16.4% vs. 6.0%; adjusted OR 1.75 [95% CI 1.72-1.78]; p<0.001) with a steady decrease in the adjusted in-hospital mortality in over the 18-year period (21% in 2000 vs 17% in 2017). The AIS cohort had longer hospital length of stay, higher hospitalization costs, greater use of tracheostomy and PEG, and less frequent discharges to home (all p<0.001). In AMI-AIS survivors (N=153,318), 57.3% had a poor functional outcome with temporal trends showing a slight increase in recent years (57% in 2000 vs 62% in 2017). Conclusions: AIS is associated with significantly higher in-hospital mortality and poor functional outcomes in AMI admissions. Despite improvement in in-hospital mortality, poor functional outcomes remain high.

Abstract Background There are limited contemporary data on the use of emergent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results Adult (>18 years) AMI admissions were identified using the National Inpatient Sample (2000‐2017) and classified by tertiles of admission year. Outcomes of interest included temporal trends of CABG use, age‐, sex‐, and race‐stratified trends in CABG use, in‐hospital mortality, hospitalization costs, and hospital length of stay. Of the 11,622,528 AMI admissions, emergent CABG was performed in 1,071,156 (9.2%). CABG utilization decreased overall (10.5% [2000] to 8.7% [2017]; adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.98 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.98‐0.98]; p<0.001), in ST‐segment‐elevation AMI (STEMI) (10.2% [2000] to 5.2% [2017]; adjusted OR 0.95 [95% CI 0.95‐0.95]; p<0.001) and non‐ST‐segment‐elevation AMI (NSTEMI) (10.8% [2000] to 10.0% [2017]; adjusted OR 0.99 [95% CI 0.99‐0.99]; p<0.001), with consistent age, sex and race trends. In 2012‐2017, compared to 2000‐2005, admissions receiving emergent CABG were more likely to have NSTEMI (80.5% vs. 56.1%), higher rates of non‐cardiac multiorgan failure (26.1% vs. 8.4%), cardiogenic shock (11.5% vs. 6.4%) and use of mechanical circulatory support (19.8% vs. 18.7%). In‐hospital mortality in CABG admissions decreased from 5.3% [2000] to 3.6% [2017]; adjusted OR 0.89 [95% CI 0.88‐0.89]; p<0.001 in the overall cohort, with similar temporal trends in STEMI and NSTEMI. An increase in lengths of hospital stay and hospitalization costs was seen over time. Conclusions Utilization of CABG has decreased substantially in AMI admissions, especially in STEMI. Despite an increase in acuity and multi‐organ failure, in‐hospital mortality consistently decreased this population.
