Abstract

Emergency medical services (EMS) activation is an integral component in managing individuals with myocardial infarction (MI). EMS play a crucial role in early MI symptom recognition, prompt transport to percutaneous coronary intervention centres and timely administration of management. The objective of this study was to examine sex differences in prehospital EMS care of patients hospitalized with Ml using data from a retrospective population-based cohort study of linked health administrative data for people with a hospital diagnosis of MI in Australia (2001-18).
