RESUMEN
Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of sociodemographic and clinical variables as determinants of mortality and survival in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction in the Eastern Amazon. Design and methods: This observational, longitudinal, and retrospective study was conducted at the Gaspar Vianna Clinical Hospital Foundation in patients hospitalized from January 2017 to June 2020. Patients were divided into two groups: those who survived (G1) (n = 646) and those who died (G2) (n = 37). Sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with mortality and survival in these two groups were analyzed. Results: Patients with STEMI who had the highest risk of death were often the oldest (G1: 61.58 ± 10.74 years; G2: 69.57 ± 9.02 years; t = -4.492; p = 0.001), with Killip III-IV classifications (OR = 0.13; 95% CI = 0.02-0.71; p = 0.03), and with diseases such as heart failure (OR = 0.07; 95% CI = 0.004-1.50; p = 0.168) or renal failure (OR = 0.03; 95% CI = 0.006-0.16; p = 0.0001). In addition, female sex (hazard ratio = 2.073; 95% CI = 1.413-5.170), Killip III-IV classifications (hazard ratio = 4.041; 95% CI = 1.703-18.883) and the presence of heart failure (hazard ratio = 34.102; 95% CI = 4.410-263.684) or renal failure (hazard ratio = 14.278; 95% CI = 3.275-62.248) shortened in-hospital survival. Conclusions: Specific sociodemographic and clinical aspects influenced mortality and survival in patients with acute ST -elevation myocardial infarction.
