Patients receiving dexmedetomidine on the first day of IMV were included in the early dexmedetomidine group, while the remaining patients were assigned to the usual care group. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to estimate adjusted risk differences between groups. We identified 15 928 patients, of which 1620 (10.2%) received early dexmedetomidine. Patients who received early dexmedetomidine were more likely to present with cardiogenic shock (52.0 vs. 47.7%, P = 0.001). In unadjusted analyses, patients receiving early dexmedetomidine had lower in-hospital mortality (33.0 vs. 42.1%) and more ventilator-free days (13.6 vs. 12.1) compared with usual care (both, P &amp;lt; 0.05). After IPTW, patients receiving early dexmedetomidine had an 11.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 8.6\u201313.5%] lower mortality and more ventilator-free days (mean difference: +2.2 days, 95% CI: 1.6\u20132.8 days).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Early sedation with dexmedetomidine was associated with lower mortality compared with usual care in patients with AMI requiring IMV.
