Hospital performance in a large urban acute myocardial infarction emergency care system: Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit network.
An ideal urban network system for improving regional acute myocardial infarction (AMI) outcomes should be geographically balanced and uniform according to regional population in performance of participating hospitals. The objective of our study is to evaluate whether there is a major difference in risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality between the Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit (CCU) network hospitals, which cover the whole population of large cities. ⋯ There was no major difference in the RAMRs between the participating hospitals within the Tokyo CCU network, despite the different hospital backgrounds.
