Impact of Type 2 Myocardial Infarction (MI) on Hospital‐Level MI Outcomes: Implications for Quality and Public Reporting

Abstract

NSTEMI metrics are significantly affected by type 2 MI patients. Type 2 MI patients have distinct etiologies, are managed differently, and have higher mortality compared with patients with type 1 MI. Moving forward, it may be appropriate to exclude type 2 MI data from NSTEMI quality metrics.
