title: [Acute myocardial infarction in octogenarians treated by primary coronary angioplasty: in hospital outcome, social evolution and long-term mortality. About a forty-seven consecutive patients study].
abstract: This study evaluated the hospital outcome of octogenarian patients treated by primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction less than 12 hours. The long-term mortality and social outcome were evaluated, social outcome was based on IADL and IADL-E scales corresponding to physical autonomy and level of dependence. We included from 1999 to 2005 47 old patients of 83.5+/-3.2 years. The reperfusion of the obstructed coronary artery was obtained in 45 patients (95.7%) with TIMI 3 flow. Hospital mortality was 25.5% and 4.2% without hemodynamic complication. A multivariate analysis identified a Killip score>1 as predictive factor of hospital mortality (OR=8.9 and p=0.05). The long-term survival without death with a follow-up of 26.3+/-18.3 months was 82.2% at 24 months and 70.6% at 48 months according to the Kaplan-Meier method. In an multivariate analysis, hospitalization exit without aspirine was associated with a higher long term mortality (OR=34.8 and p=0.04). According to the evolution of scores of IADL and IADL-E scales, patients had an excellent autonomy and good capacities before the infarction and they kept them on the long term. Thus octogenarians with acute myocardial infarction treated by primary angioplasty have a high in hospital and long term mortality but the survivors preserve an excellent daily autonomy.
