Popis: Background. This study aimed to investigate readmission risk factors after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during a 3-year follow-up. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of the STEMI Cohort Study (SEMI-CI) in Isfahan, Iran, with 867 patients. A trained nurse gathered the demographic, medical history, laboratory, and clinical data at discharge. Then the patients were followed up annually for 3 years by telephone and invitation for in-person visits with a cardiologist concerning readmission status. Cardiovascular readmission was defined as MI, unstable angina, stent thrombosis, stroke, and heart failure. Adjusted and unadjusted binary logistic regression analyses were applied. Results: Of 773 patients with complete information, 234 patients (30.27%) experienced 3-year readmission. The mean age of the patients was 60.92±12.77 years, and 705 patients (81.3%) were males. The unadjusted results showed that smokers were 21% more likely to be readmitted than nonsmokers (OR, 1.21; P=0.015). Readmitted patients had a 26% lower shock index (OR, 0.26; P=0.047), and ejection fraction had a conservative effect (OR, 0.97; P
