AMI per 100,000 population. ICD codes: ICD-9 410 and ICD-10 I21, I22.

SHORT-TERM IMPLEMENTATION
Health status indicators
MORTALITY
- Mortality rate: annual AMI deaths from per 100,000 population.
ICD codes:ICD-9 410 and ICD-10 I21-I22.
MORBIDITY
- Attack rate/incidence rate: annual AMI events (first and recurrent)
per 100,000 population. ICD codes: non-fatal AMI events (ICD-9 410, ICD-10
I21-I22 from HDRs-main diagnosis) and coronary deaths (ICD-9 410-414, ICD-10

apart are counted only once.
- 1-day, 28-day case-fatality: proportion of fatal AMI within the
specified period of time. ICD codes : non-fatal AMI and coronary deaths
(ICD-9 410, ICD-10 I21-I22 from HDRs and ICD-9 410-414, ICD-10 I20-I25 from
mortality).
Health service indicators
MEDICINE USE

thrombolytic therapy. ICD codes: ICD-9-CM 99.10 (injection or infusion of
thrombolytic agent).
HEALTH CARE UTILIZATION
- Median length of stay: median number of days spent in hospital per
patient with AMI. ICD codes ICD-9 410 and ICD-10 I21, I22.
LONG-TERM IMPLEMENTATION
Health status indicators
MORTALITY
- Validated mortality rate: validated AMI annual deaths per 100,000
population. ICD codes: ICD-9 410-414 and ICD-10 I20-I25.
MORBIDITY
- Validated attack rate/incidence rate: validated annual first (and
recurrent) AMI per 100,000 population. ICD codes. first non-fatal AMI (ICD-9
410-411, ICD-10 I21-I22) and coronary deaths (ICD-9 410-414, ICD-10 I20-I25).
- Re-admission after 1 year: re-admission one year following initial
admission for AMI due to re-infarction, IHD, HF and all causes. ICD codes: AMI
(ICD-9 410, ICD-10 I21-I22); IHD (ICD-9 410-414, ICD-10 I20-I25); HF (ICD-9 428,
ICD-10 I50).
- 1 year survival: proportion of patients who survived a non-fatal AMI,
who are alive after 1 year. ICD codes: non-fatal AMI (ICD-9 410, ICD-10 I21-I22)
and coronary deaths (ICD-9 410-414, ICD-10 I20-I25).
- 28-day case-fatality among first day survivors: proportion of fatal
AMI within the specified period of time. ICD codes: non-fatal AMI and coronary
deaths (ICD-9 410, ICD-10 I21-I22 from HDRs and ICD-9 410-414, ICD-10 I20-I25
from mortality).
Health service indicators
SURGICAL OPERATIONS AND INVASIVE PROCEDURES
- CABG per AMI: proportion of AMI patients who have received a CABG up
to 90 days following the initial admission for AMI. ICD codes: CABG (ICD-9-CM
36.1; NOMESCO: FNA-FNE); AMI (ICD-9 410, ICD-10 I21-I22).
- PTCA per AMI: proportion of AMI patients who have received a PTCA up
to 90 days following the initial admission for AMI. ICD codes : PTCA (ICD-9-CM
36.01, 36.02, 36.05, 36.06 (stent); NOMESCO: FNG0); AMI (ICD-9 410, ICD-10
I21-I22).
- emergency CABG (within 24 hrs) rate: proportion of CABG performed
within 24 hours from the onset AMI. ICD codes: ICD-9-CM 36.1; NOMESCO: FNA-FNE.
- emergency PTCA (within 24 hrs) rate: proportion of PTCA performed
within 24 hours from the onset of AMI. ICD codes: PTCA (ICD-9-CM 36.01, 36.02,
