The study evaluates the effectiveness of STEMI networks, focusing on out-of-hospital triage, in improving patient outcomes for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
It found that implementing these networks led to significant reductions in case-fatality (35%) and long-term mortality (27%), along with improvements in various patient conditions and treatment times.
The positive effects were more pronounced in urban areas and high-income countries, emphasizing the importance of emergency transport systems in enhancing patient care.
