Mortality and Revascularization among Myocardial Infarction Patients with Schizophrenia: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of AMI, mortality in schizophrenia is increased, and treatment with revascularization reduces the HR of schizophrenia. The higher mortality rate yet similar survival benefit of revascularization among individuals with schizophrenia relative to those without suggests that increasing access to revascularization may reduce the elevated mortality observed in individuals with schizophrenia.
