Impact of Pre-Hospital and Hospital Delays on Myocardial Infarction Outcomes

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Myocardial Infarction (MI)

In brief

The goal of this prospective observational study is to investigate the impact of pre-hospital and hospital delays on the outcomes of myocardial infarction (MI) patients admitted to Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital, Baghdad. The main questions it aims to answer are: How do pre-hospital delays (e.g., patient transport and first medical contact) affect clinical outcomes such as mortality, complication rates, and recovery time in MI patients? What is the influence of hospital-related delays (e.g., time to intervention or reperfusion therapy) on the prognosis of MI patients? Participants will: Be monitored for the time elapsed from symptom onset to first medical contact and subsequent time intervals during hospital care. Have their clinical outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and post-intervention complications, recorded and analyzed.
