Predictors of medium-term mortality in patients hospitalised with coronary artery disease in a resource-limited South-East Asian setting

Abstract

Patients with CAD in a poor South-East Asian setting experience high in-hospital and medium-term mortality. The initial severity of the disease, lack of access to guidelines-recommended therapy and poor adherence to after-discharge medications are the main drivers for excess mortality. Improved access to early and late hospital care and patient education should be prioritised for better survival.
