database[Title] 2023-02-15
Summary:
CONCLUSION: Survivors of AMI incurred lower costs and length of stay than those who died. Higher costs were attributed to greater LOS and higher-level care. The results suggest that economic evaluations of cardiovascular interventions that do not include the cost of dying may underestimate the benefits of the intervention.
