The AMI-related and COVID-19-associated AMI mortalities displayed a similar trend, peaking in 2021 and gradually decreasing. The crude death ratio for COVID-19-associated mortality ×1,000 AMI deaths was 50 (95%CI, 49-51) in 2020, reaching a peak of 72 (95%CI, 71-74) in 2021, and then gradually decreasing to 52 (95%CI, 51-53) in 2022, 19 (95%CI, 18-19) in 2023 and 12 (95%CI, 11-13) in 2024, respectively.

Abstract
The AMI-related and COVID-19-associated AMI mortalities displayed a similar trend, peaking in 2021 and gradually decreasing. The crude death ratio for COVID-19-associated mortality ×1,000 AMI deaths was 50 (95%CI, 49-51) in 2020, reaching a peak of 72 (95%CI, 71-74) in 2021, and then gradually decreasing to 52 (95%CI, 51-53) in 2022, 19 (95%CI, 18-19) in 2023 and 12 (95%CI, 11-13) in 2024, respectively. Overall, the crude death ratio for COVID-19-associated mortality ×1,000 AMI deaths was 42.9 (95%CI, 42.4-43-4) across the first five years of the pandemic. The results of our analysis confirm that AMI-related mortality significantly increased during the first five years of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S., with COVID-19 directly associated with a substantial proportion of these deaths, over 4 %, peaking at 7.2 % in 2021.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
