Background: Management of elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is challenging due to lack of knowledge about the link between fragility, outcomes and interventional procedures.
Aims: The aim of this study was to establish the prognostic role of the Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI) in elderly with AMI.
Methods: A total of 241 patients ≥ 65 years old with AMI were continuously enrolled in this prospective study and divided into three groups according to the MPI score. The primary endpoint was 30-day mortality. Secondary endpoints were 6-month mortality and rate of adverse events.
Results: In-hospital overall mortality rate was higher in MPI-3 (p = 0.009). Patients of MPI-3 had a significantly higher mortality rate regarding the primary endpoint with 30-day survival of 78.9%, compared to 97.4% and 97.2%, in MPI-1, MPI-2 (p < 0.001), respectively. The survival rate progressively decreased in the three MPI classes of risk with a 6-month survival of 96.5%, 96.3%, 73.7% in groups MPI-1, MPI-2, and MPI-3 (p < 0.001). Longer length of in-hospital stay was observed in MPI-3 group. In-hospital complications were more frequent in higher MPI score.
Discussion: Our findings are in agreement with the results of other studies that evaluated the risk of in-hospital complications and mortality in older patients. In our "real-world" population of elderly hospitalized for AMI we observed poorer outcomes in patients belonged to higher MPI groups.
Conclusions: In the setting of AMI, MPI may be very useful in the daily clinical practice to manage older patients and predict the risk of in-hospital and follow-up complications.
