- Study analyzed first AMI hospitalizations in young adults (18-54 years) from 2011 to 2022 in the US.
- 945,977 weighted first AMI hospitalizations: 37.6% STEMI, 62.4% non-STEMI.
- Adjusted in-hospital mortality increased for first STEMI (1.2% absolute increase) but remained unchanged for non-STEMI.
- Young women had higher in-hospital mortality than men (STEMI: 3.1% vs. 2.6%; non-STEMI: 1.0% vs. 0.8%).
- Women experienced similar in-hospital complications but received fewer cardiovascular procedures.
- Nontraditional risk factors were more associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality than traditional ones.
- Conclusion: Rising first STEMI mortality in young adults, higher in women, linked to nontraditional risk factors.
