Abstract

Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has become one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in China. However, little is known about the characteristics, medical care and outcomes of patients with AMI in Northeastern China. The Acute Myocardial Infarction Study in Northeastern China (AMINoC) is aimed at obtaining timely real-world knowledge in terms of characteristics, clinical care and outcomes of patients with AMI and at providing care-quality improvement efforts in Northeastern China.

Methods and analysis: The AMINoC is a real-world, prospective, multicentre cohort study. The study selected 20 hospitals using stratified cluster sampling from different levels of hospitals among nine districts throughout Jilin Province. Hospitalised patients with a primary diagnosis of AMI in each site are consecutively enrolled for 1 year. Demographic characteristics, clinical data, treatments, outcomes and cost are collected by local investigators. Patient follow-up after discharge is planned for up to 2 years.

Ethics and dissemination: The protocol has been approved by the ethics committee at the Second Hospital of Jilin University. The findings of this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and medical conferences.

Trial registration: NCT04451967.

Keywords: epidemiology; myocardial infarction; protocols & guidelines.
