Popis: | The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to identify the relationship between the frequency of nursing activities during the first hospitalization and adverse outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome by using electronic health records. Patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome from April 2010 to April 2015 were examined for eligibility based on 36 months of major adverse cardiac events as the main outcome. Among the 652 patients who were enrolled, 66 patients experienced major adverse cardiac events. The average frequency of nursing activities was 1098.7 (±2703.8), and four variables (length of hospital stay, albumin level, hemoglobin level, and frequency of nursing activities) were significantly associated with 36 months of major adverse cardiac events. After adjusting for these variables, the frequency of nursing activities was found to be the only significant factor associated with the incidence of 36 months of major adverse cardiac events. This finding suggests that patients with acute coronary syndrome who require more frequent nursing activities during the first hospitalization could be vulnerable to adverse outcomes and should be closely monitored. |
