Predictors of in-hospital mortality in high Killip class acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after reperfusion
A retrospective cohort of 234 high-Killip-class STEMI patients receiving PCI at Surat Thani Hospital had 18.8% in-hospital mortality. Anaemia, low mean arterial pressure, more than two vasopressors and multivessel PCI were associated with death. Pre-reperfusion intubation was associated with lower risk, but retrospective data cannot establish a protective effect.
