NSTE-ACS patients are a heterogeneous population, ranging from low-risk patients who may benefit from conservative treatment, to high-risk patients with an increased risk of death and cardiovascular events, who require invasive coronary angiography and revascularization. There is growing evidence supporting the benefits of a routine invasive strategy in patients with a high-risk profile.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0210"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6,7</span></a> However, the optimal timeframe for invasive strategies remains controversial. Despite this, the most recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend an immediate invasive strategy (<2 hours) in very high-risk patients, an early invasive strategy (<24 hours) in high-risk patients, and an invasive strategy (<72 hours) in intermediate-risk patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0220"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Complying with these guidelines would require the already overburdened healthcare system to provide timely care to more patients, which would then entail reorganization so as to meet these standards and to improve efficiency. Furthermore, since patients are responsible for initiating the cascade of events associated with the treatment pathway, it is also important to analyze patient-related delays. Thus, the purpose of this study is to assess patient and system delays, according to diagnosis and risk profile, and to identify predictors of prolonged treatment delays.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0070">Methods</span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0075">Study design and selection of participants</span><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The EPIHeart project is a prospective cohort assembled in two Portuguese hospitals (Hospital de São João, Porto, and Hospital de São Pedro, north-east region) between August 2013 and December 2014. As described previously,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0225"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> the inclusion criteria were admission with a diagnosis of ACS type I, aged ≥18 years, residence in the hospitals’ catchment area, and an expected length of stay longer than 48 hours. Of 1297 patients initially considered, in 164 the diagnosis of ACS was not confirmed and 78 were discharged or transferred or died before study invitation. An additional 44 patients were excluded due to inability to answer the questionnaire (non-Portuguese speaking, hearing problems, or cognitive impairment), as assessed by the interviewer. Seventy-two patients refused to participate (7.1% of those invited), thus, the final study cohort included 939 patients. Non-participants were significantly older (72.7 vs. 64.2 years, p<0.001), more often unpartnered (34.3% vs. 23.1%, p=0.035), and less educated (<4 years of schooling: 43.1% vs. 19.6%, p<0.001), but there was no difference in the proportion of ACS types (STEMI: 37.1% vs. 37.4%, p=0.961). Patients with low-risk NSTE-ACS and those admitted due to physician referral, scheduled medical appointment, or diagnostic exam rather than to symptoms were not included in the analysis.

Staff nurses or physicians collected data on clinical presentation and healthcare-seeking behaviors within 48 hours of admission. Chest pain intensity was measured on a visual analog scale (from 0 to 10). Understanding of ACS was assessed by the question: “Did you suspect that your symptoms were related to a cardiac problem?” Symptoms appearing on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays were defined as symptom onset during weekends. Symptom onset at night was defined as occurring between 9:00 pm and 7:59 am. Next, trained interviewers assessed patients’ sociodemographic characteristics and healthcare use in the previous year. Patients’ place of residence was georeferenced according to their address, using the ArcGIS Online World Geocoding Service and Google Maps. The shortest road distance (in min) from the patient's home to the index hospital was calculated with ArcGIS, version 10.4.1. Patients who were married or in a civil union were considered partnered, while single, separated, divorced, or widowed patients were designated as unpartnered. Health insurance coverage included health subsystems and voluntary private health insurance. Patients were asked about their smoking history and height, and their weight was measured in kg. Other risk factors, medical history, and clinical characteristics were extracted from medical records.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For this analysis, the type of ACS defined in the discharge notes was used and classified as STEMI or NSTE-ACS.

Median time between FMC and angiography was 30.9 hours (20.3-70.2) for high-risk NSTE-ACS and 26.6 hours (17.1-52.0) for intermediate-risk NSTE-ACS; the delay exceeded the recommended timeframes in 65.8% of patients with high-risk NSTE-ACS and in 14.2% of those with intermediate-risk NSTE-ACS. Patients living in the north-east region were more likely to be treated beyond the recommended timeframe, although the differences were not statistically significant in all groups (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>). The risk of delay >90 min was nearly six-fold higher for patients with STEMI admitted to non-PCI-capable hospitals, while for high-risk NSTE-ACS, patients with hospital admission during the weekend, impaired renal failure, and in Killip class III-IV were more likely to have delays ≥24 hours between FMC and angiography.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The proportion of patients with delays between symptom onset and FMC >120 min could have been reduced by nearly 50% for STEMI and 25% for intermediate-risk NSTE-ACS if all patients had correctly recognized their symptoms and had been transported by ambulance (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0015">Table 3</a>).

Moreover, system delays exceeded the recommendations for 78% of STEMI patients and 66% of higher-risk NSTE-ACS patients.

The differences in patient delays may also be explained by the different characteristics of NSTE-ACS and STEMI patients. In comparison with STEMI patients, NSTE-ACS patients were more frequently women, older, and had a higher prevalence of chronic health conditions.

Additionally, high-risk NSTE-ACS patients whose symptoms appeared during the weekend were more likely to experience prolonged system delays. This may be partially explained by the time that the hospitals needed to assemble on-call staff and activate the cardiac catheterization laboratory during off-hours. Finally, admission characteristics related to impaired renal function and Killip class were found to be associated with prolonged system delays for NSTE-ACS patients.

As these patients are expected to have experienced longer delays, our results might underestimate time delays. Second, although data were collected within 48 hours of admission, we cannot rule out that recall bias might have occurred in some patients. Lastly, our results may not be generalizable to other regions in the country, although the study was conducted in two different settings, one mainly coastal and urban and the other mainly rural and inland, which enabled the comparison of relevant factors regarding access to health care.</p></span><span id="sec0050" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0110">Conclusion</span><p id="par0135" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Due to both patient and system delays, a large proportion of STEMI and high-risk NSTE-ACS patients still fail to have access to timely reperfusion.
