Participant Flow

Patients admitted to the hospital and who undergo cardiac catheterization for an AMI were identified through the electronic medical record (EMR). Patients with EMR-documented Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) that were discharged alive were followed, prospectively from the time of discharge using review of the electronic medical record and as local guidance permitted, phone calls at 3 and 6 months. Comparisons of participants discharged with a beta

This is an observational study. Participants that were discharged alive were categorized based on whether they had a beta blocker prescription at discharge.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: Patients who underwent cardiac catheterization for AMI with self-reported or physician-documented COPD and enrolled in the study compared with patients who underwent cardiac catheterization for AMI without self-reported or physician-documented COPD that were screened but not enrolled for follow-up. 562 participants had COPD out of those screened. Participants were excluded from two sites that screened only patients with COPD.

Results of this Aim will provide data about the prevalence of COPD in the hospitalized population with AMI in our network.
