    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To determine baseline prognostic factors of in-hospital mortality in Thai patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). MATERIAL AND METHOD: Among 5,537 NSTE-ACS patients enrolled in Thai Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry, a univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to estimate the relationship of baseline clinical variables and in-hospital mortality. Variables examined included demographics, history and presenting characteristics. RESULTS: The in-hospital mortality rate was 9.5%. The statistically significant, adjusted baseline prognostic factors of in-hospital death were older age > or =65 years) (odds ratio [OR] 2.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.54-3.09), shock at presentation (OR 4.6, 95%CI = 2.91-7.32), heart failure (OR 3.1, 95%CI = 2.15-4.38), positive cardiac marker (OR 1.7, 95%CI = 1.18-2.53), arrhythmia (OR 12.3, 95%CI = 8.71-17.35), major bleeding (OR 2.9, 95%CI = 1.84-4.51), and cerebrovascular accident (OR 4.9, 95% CI = 2.42-9.97). While dyslipidemia (OR 0.6, 95%CI = 0.45-0.87), having percutaneous coronary intervention (OR 0.6, 95% CI = 0.39-0.94), receiving aspirin (OR 0.6, 95%CI = 0.33-0.94), beta-blocker (OR 0.5, 95% CI = 0.40-0.73), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (OR 0.6, 95% CI = 0.43-0.78) and nitrate (OR 0.5, 95%CI= 0.35-0.76) were associated with lower in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION: The in-hospital mortality is higher in Thai NSTE-ACS patients compared to other populations. The present study supports and confirms the prognostics importance of several baseline characteristics reported in previous studies.
