| الوصف: | Objective : Reports on changes in the survival of patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) are often difficult to interpret due to changes in diagnostic criteria and patient characteristics over time. The objective of our study was to determine changes in the survival of Danish patients examined with coronary angiography for known or suspected IHD during the 1990s, using population-based clinical data. Design : Follow-up study. Setting : The departments of cardiology at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, and Skejby Hospital, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark. Patients : IHD patients (n=7,021), who underwent first-time coronary angiography in 1992, 1996 or 2000. Main outcomes measures : Three-year survival was compared among the cohorts. Survival was also compared with that for the general population. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate mortality rate ratios (MRRs) adjusted for differences in patient characteristics. Results : We found a substantial improvement in survival, e.g., adjusted MRR was 0.69 (95% CI 0.55 to 0.87) when comparing patients from the year 2000 with patients from 1992. The absolute standardised survival rates after three years of follow-up were 87.1% (95% CI 85.4 to 88.8), 89.9% (95% CI 88.5 to 91.3) and 91.2% (95% CI 90.3 to 92.1) among patients examined in 1992, 1996 and 2000, respectively. The improvement was not explained by the improvement in overall survival in the general population during the study period. Conclusions : The survival of Danish patients with known or suspected IHD appears to have improved substantially during the 1990s. |
