SIST-IM Objectives • For patients hospitalized for ACS in Quebec between 1991 and 2001: • Describe and compare the profile of revascularization and the profile of mortality/morbidity • Describe and compare short and long term treatments for patients aged 65 and older • Identify possible factors explaining spatio-temporal heterogeneity • Ethical considerations • Approved by the ethical committee of CHUS and CAI
Aspatial Database Codes ICD-9: 410-414 1991-2001
Variables MED-ECHO (MSSS) Vital Statistics (MSSS) Pharmaceutical Services (RAMQ)
Specific Question • For patients hospitalized for ACS in year 2000: • Can we observe a regional variation in standardized revascularization ratios?
Revascularization Standardized revascularization ratios and 95%-confidence intervals
Discussion • Is there any relation between access to tertiary cardiology centers and revascularization?
Discussion Odds Ratio = 1.73p < 0.0001 Access to tertiary cardiology center Revascula- rization
Discussion • Other related works • Relation between meteorological extreme conditions and myocardial infarction (Michel Pomerleau) • Relation between rural areas and myocardial infarction (Julie Loslier)
