ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Types 1 and 2 myocardial infarction (MI) may occur in the setting of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). There is a paucity of data pertinent to the contemporary prevalence and impact of types 1 and 2 MI following GIB. We examined clinical profiles and the prognostic impact of both MI types on outcomes of patients hospitalized with GIB.
METHODS: The 2018 Nationwide Readmission Database was queried for patients hospitalized for the primary diagnosis of GIB and had concomitant diagnoses of type 1 or type 2 MI. Baseline characteristics, in-hospital mortality, resource utilization, and 30-day all-cause readmissions were compared among groups.
RESULTS: Of 381,867 primary GIB hospitalizations, 2,902 (0.75%) had type 1 MI and 3,963 (1.0%) had type 2 MI. GIB patients with type 1 and type 2 MI had significantly higher in-hospital mortality compared to their counterparts without MI (adjusted odds ratios [aOR]: 4.72, 95% CI 3.43-6.48; and aOR: 2.17, 95% C:1.48-3.16, respectively). Both types 1 and 2 MI were associated with higher rates of discharge to a nursing facility (aOR of type 1 vs. no MI: 1.65, 95% CI 1.45-1.89, and aOR of type 2 vs. no MI: 1.37, 95% CI 1.22-1.54), longer length of stay, higher hospital costs, and more 30-day all-cause readmissions (aOR of type 1 vs. no MI: 1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.38; aOR of type 2 vs. no MI: 1.17, 95% CI 1.05-1.30).
CONCLUSION: Types 1 and 2 MI are associated with higher in-hospital mortality and resource utilization among patients hospitalized with GIB in the United States.
