Predictors of transportation delay in patients with suspected ST-elevation-myocardial infarction in the VIENNA-STEMI network

ConclusionIn our Viennese STEMI network, the strongest determinants of pre-hospital EMS-related transportation delays were patient ’s site of call, patient’s age, and hour of EMS activation. Due to the significant but small median time delays, which are within the guideline-recommended time intervals, no impact on clinical outcome can be expected.Graphic abstract
