The regionalization of care for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may unintentionally concentrate patients with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) into percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) capable hospitals. This could lead to benefits such as increased access to PCI-capable hospitals, but could cause harms such as crowding in some hospitals with decreased patient volume and revenue in others. We set out to assess whether STEMI regionalization programs concentrated patients with NSTEMI at STEMI-receiving hospitals.

STEMI 护理区域化与事实上的 NSTEMI 区域化的关联

ST 段抬高型心肌梗死 (STEMI) 的区域化治疗可能会无意中将非 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死 (NSTEMI) 患者集中到有经皮冠状动脉介入治疗 (PCI) 能力的医院。这可能会带来好处，例如增加进入有 PCI 能力的医院的机会，但也可能造成危害，例如一些医院出现拥挤，而另一些医院的患者数量和收入减少。我们着手评估 STEMI 区域化计划是否将 NSTEMI 患者集中在 STEMI 接收医院。
