Objective:To explore the independent risk factors of death during hospitalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) .Methods :Clinical data of 614 cases ,who were diagnosed as AMI during hospitaliza‐tion in our hospital from 2011 to 2013 ,were retrospectively analyzed .According to AMI patients'survival or not during hospitalization ,they were divided into death group (n=62) and survival group (n=552) ,single and multi-variable Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship among baseline feature factors and thera‐peutic methods of all patients and hospital mortality .Results:The mean age was (66.58 ± 12.87) years and there were 39 males (62.9% ) among the 62 dead patients .Hospital mortality was 10.10% (62/614) .Multi‐variable Lo‐gistic regression analysis screened following factor were independent risk factors related to AMI hospital mortality :age (OR= 3.065 ,95% CI:1.188~ 7.915) ,female (OR= 2.775 ,95% CI :1.200~ 6.419) ,heart rate (OR=2.836 ,95% CI:1.405~ 5.722) ,blood glucose (OR = 1.943 ,95% CI :1.186 ~ 3.184) ,Killip class IV (OR=1.744 ,95% CI:1.211~2.513) and left main or triple -vessel coronary disease (OR= 3.157 ,95% CI :1.244 -8.014) . P < 0.05 ~ < 0.01 .Conclusion : Advanced age ,female ,rapid heart rate ,elevated blood glucose level at hospitalization ,Killip class IV and left main or triple‐vessel coronary disease may be independent risk factors of death during hospitalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction .
