Abstract

Purpose: To verify whether the trend of AMI mortality throughout the different months of the year may have recently changed in the US due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and climate changes.

Methods: We examined monthly mortality trends for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the U.S. from 2018 to 2022 by conducting an electronic search of the latest version of the CDC Wonder (Wide-Ranging, Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) online database. We calculated and analyzed the mean and standard deviation (SD) of cumulative AMI deaths each month from 2018 to 2022.

Results: We observed a notable seasonal pattern, with mortality peaking in December and January and dropping from June to September. AMI-related deaths were significantly higher in January compared to other months, except December, with no significant difference between December and January (p = 0.868). The lowest mortality rates were observed in summer, with a marked decline between March and September. Statistically, the monthly variation in mean AMI deaths was significant (ANOVA, f = 13.1, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Healthcare systems should allocate resources effectively during winter to manage this seasonal burden.

最近（2018-2022）美国急性心肌梗死的月死亡率仍在12月和1月达到峰值。

目的：验证由于2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行和气候变化，最近美国AMI死亡率在一年中不同月份的趋势是否发生了变化。方法：我们通过对最新版本的CDC Wonder（广泛的流行病学研究在线数据）在线数据库进行电子搜索，检查了2018年至2022年美国急性心肌梗死（AMI）的每月死亡率趋势。我们计算并分析了2018年至2022年每个月AMI累计死亡人数的平均值和标准差（SD）。结果：观察到明显的季节规律，死亡率在12月和1月达到高峰，6 - 9月下降。除12月外，1月ami相关死亡人数显著高于其他月份，12月与1月无显著差异（p = 0.868）。死亡率在夏季最低，在3月至9月期间显著下降。统计上，AMI平均死亡的月变化具有统计学意义（方差分析，f = 13.1,p < 0.001）。结论：卫生保健系统应在冬季有效分配资源，以管理这一季节性负担。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Medicine - "The Green Journal" - publishes original clinical research of interest to physicians in internal medicine, both in academia and community-based practice. AJM is the official journal of the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine, a prestigious group comprising internal medicine department chairs at more than 125 medical schools across the U.S. Each issue carries useful reviews as well as seminal articles of immediate interest to the practicing physician, including peer-reviewed, original scientific studies that have direct clinical significance and position papers on health care issues, medical education, and public policy.
