Acute myocardial infarction hospital admissions and deaths in England: a national follow-back and follow-forward record-linkage study.
Little information is available on how primary and comorbid acute myocardial infarction contribute to the mortality burden of acute myocardial infarction, the share of these deaths that occur during or after a hospital admission, and the reasons for hospital admission of those who died from acute myocardial infarction. Our aim was to fill in these gaps in the knowledge about deaths and hospital admissions due to acute myocardial infarction. ⋯ Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, Public Health England, National Institute for Health Research.
