Background • Significant regional differences in mortality rates following STEMI • Lower mortality rates in clinical trials versus registries • Patients in clinical trials more likely to get life-saving medications Giugliano, et al. Eur Heart J. 2001;22:1702-15.Bahit, et al. Am Heart J 2003;145:109-17.
Unanswered Questions • How do contemporary RCT subjects differ from STEMI patients in the general population? • How well can we generalize the results of the ExTRACT-TIMI 25 trial? • How does regional variation contribute to mortality from STEMI?
Hypotheses • STEMI patients in contemporary clinical trials have lower baseline risk and better outcomes than patients not enrolled in RCTs • When adjusted for baseline risk and treatments received, regional variation in outcomes after STEMI is minimized

Gross National Income • Gross national income (GNI) per capita, as a surrogate for “regionality” • Data from World Bank Development indicators database, 2004 statistics World Bank. World Development Indicators Database. Washington DC; 2004.Orlandini, et al. Eur Heart J. 2006; 27:527-33.
Registry: TIMI Risk Index Profile By Gross National Income % Patient Population TRI
Registry: Gross National Income (GNI) Corrected for TRI When adjusted for baseline risk, GNI does not predict in-hospital mortality.

Limitations • Registry population not perfect representation of ‘general’ STEMI population • Reporting and survival biases
Conclusions • TIMI Risk Index • A simple, robust risk-stratification tool • ExTRACT-TIMI 25 RCT • Patients at lower risk and have better outcomes than the general STEMI population • Mortality differences explained by baseline risk • Regional Variation • After adjusting for baseline risk (TRI) and in-hospital treatments, GNI does not predict in-hospital mortality after STEMI.
