The primary outcome was 28\u2010day mortality. Secondary outcomes included ICU, in\u2010hospital, and 365\u2010day mortality; cardiogenic shock; malignant arrhythmia; delirium; and bowel sound recovery. Findings were validated with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and subgroup analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the 1:1:1 PSM cohort of 1887 patients, stool softeners were associated with significantly lower mortality versus stimulants: in\u2010hospital (adjusted\u2009OR = 0.39, 95% CI 0.22\u20130.69, p = 0.001), 28\u2010day (aHR = 0.55, 95% CI 0.40\u20130.76, p &lt; 0.001), and 365\u2010day (aHR = 0.57, 95% CI 0.45\u20130.72, p &lt; 0.001). Osmotic laxatives correlated with lower in\u2010hospital (aOR = 0.52, 95% CI 0.30\u20130.89, p = 0.017) and 28\u2010day (aHR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.55\u20130.95, p = 0.019) mortality, but not 365\u2010day compared with stimulant laxatives. Both agents were linked to lower delirium risk and better bowel sound recovery. IPTW sensitivity analyses showed consistent results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among ICU\u2010admitted AMI patients, the initial use of stool softeners or osmotic laxatives was associated with a lower risk of short\u2010term mortality compared with stimulant laxatives. These findings indicate that a more robust and gentle laxative management strategy may have potential clinical value for this high\u2010risk population.<\/jats:p>\n
