This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and estimate the in-hospital all-cause mortality rate. We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective single-centre study of STEMI patients who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 2015 and December 2019. We compared demographic and clinical parameters between survivors and non-survivors with descriptive statistics. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the predictors of all-cause mortality. The study population consisted of 677 patients with a mean age of 55.5 \u00b1 11.3 years. The in-hospital all-cause mortality rate was 6.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 4.5\u20138.3%]. Risk factors for ASCVD included smoking (56.1%), hypertension (52.8%), dyslipidemia (40.0%), and a family history of coronary artery disease (32.7%). A pharmaco-invasive management strategy (treatment with thrombolytic therapy and PCI) was implemented in 36.5% of patients and reduced all-cause mortality risk (OR: 0.16; CI: 0.04\u20130.71, p = 0.015). The in-hospital all-cause mortality rate in STEMI patients was 6.2%, and a pharmaco-invasive management strategy proved to be an effective approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcdd10080348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,15]],"date-time":"2023-08-15T11:09:44Z","timestamp":1692097784000},"page":"348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["In-Hospital Mortality Outcomes of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Cross-Sectional Study from a Tertiary Academic Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2605-8134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lindokuhle","family":"Ndaba","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2193, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arthur","family":"Mutyaba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2193, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3769-4686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dineo","family":"Mpanya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2193, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7210-1447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nqoba","family":"Tsabedze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg 2193, South Africa"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"366","DOI":"10.1016\/j.acvd.2017.05.001","article-title":"French Registry on Acute ST-elevation and non\u2212ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction 2015 (FAST-MI 2015): Design and baseline data","volume":"110","author":"Belle","year":"2017","journal-title":"Arch.
