Construction of Modern reGional Network for Acute Myocardial Infarction
Construction of Modern reGional Network for Acute Myocardial Infarction
Incidence of ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) is rising and the existing emergency medical aid system for STEMI was not enough for timely perfusion treatment. No existing research with high-quality data focuses on the characteristic of STEMI incidence and regional network construction. Aiming of Guangdong GAMI(reGional network for Acute Myocardial Infarction) project is to establish effective collaborative regional network system for STEMI patients treatment.
The project of Guangdong GAMI(reGional network for Acute Myocardial Infarction) is being conducted during 2015-2019 in eight districts with diverse economic development across southern China (Integrated care model was conducted in four regions, which mainly included community public education, non primary-PCI capable centre and referral system improvement, and inhospital green-channal optimization for primary-PCI capable centre. Other four centers were underwent usual care of acute myocardial infacrtion public and medical health service). All the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients admitted in the hospital within 30 days from the symptom onset were enrolled. The key data of the timeline of STEMI onset and treatment were precisely recorded. Other details of STEMI treatment in hospitals such as laboratory data and medication were also collected. During the research period, actions of both optimizing the regional STEMI patients transfer and treatment to shorten the medical delay, as well as educating the public to improve their awareness of early treatment of STEMI were taken meanwhile. In addition, laboratory data, medication, and follow-up information were recorded in a database for further analysis regarding the STEMI patient treatment.
Inclusion Criteria:
