Abstract
We got data from the Scottish morbidity record for Scottish residents aged at least 18 years with a “first” emergency hospitalisation for myocardial infarction (codes ICD-9 (international classification of diseases, ninth revision) 410, ICD-10 I21 or I22), angina (ICD-9 411 or 413; ICD-10 I20 or I24.9) or “other chest pain” (ICD-9 786.5; ICD-10 R07), between 1990 and 2000.5 We analysed discharges coded only in the principal position. A “first” hospitalisation was one with no discharge diagnosis of coronary heart disease or chest pain in the previous 10 years.Keywords
