The impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Emergency Care of Acute Myocardial Infarction: Findings from the Taiwan Clinical Performance Indicator (TCPI)
Description
CONCLUSION: Overall, the quality of care for patients with AMI was mildly influenced during the assessed pandemic periods, especially in terms of door-to- electrocardiogram times of <10 min and primary PCI received within 90 min of hospital arrival (Period III). Using our study results, hospitals can develop strategies regarding care delivery for patients with AMI during a COVID-19 outbreak on the basis of central government alert levels, even during the height of the pandemic.
