Insights
This study profiled patients with heart disease, finding most were older males from urban areas with incomplete primary education. This data aids in developing targeted treatment strategies for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction are leading global causes of death and morbidity.
- Understanding patient demographics is crucial for effective treatment strategies and improved clinical results.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and describe the sociodemographic profile of patients treated at the Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Service of Hospital São Paulo.
- To inform the development of personalized medical interventions and enhance treatment adherence.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive and observational study of 3,593 patients treated between July 2020 and October 2022.
- Data collected via the REDCap platform, analyzing variables including gender, age, ethnicity, education, and origin.
Main Results:
- 60.1% of patients were male, and 59.18% were older adults.
- The majority identified as White (66.34%), with 33.69% having incomplete primary education.
- Most patients (76.46%) originated from the capital of São Paulo State.
Conclusions:
- Knowledge of the sociodemographic profile is fundamental for creating effective, personalized intervention strategies.
- These findings can help increase treatment adherence and improve the quality of care.
- The data may also serve as a valuable resource for other medical centers globally.
Objective:
Ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction are the main causes of death and morbidity worldwide. It has been proposed that knowledge of the profile of patients treated allows the development of more effective strategies to improve adherence to treatment and consequently the best clinical results. The aim of this study was to develop a descriptive and observational study to identify and describe the sociodemographic profile of patients treated by the medical complex of Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Service of Hospital São Paulo from Escola Paulista de Medicina/Universidade Federal de São Paulo.
Methods:
This study was performed on 3,593 patients from the Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Service/Hospital São Paulo/Escola Paulista de Medicina/Universidade Federal de São Paulo complex between July 1, 2020, and October 30, 2022. Using data collected on the REDCap platform, variables, such as gender, age group, ethnicity, education level, and origin of the patients, were analyzed.
Results:
Of the total patients (3,593), 60.1% were male, 59.18% were older adults, 66.34% belonged to White race, and 33.69% had incomplete primary education. Geographically, most patients were from the capital of São Paulo State (76.46%), with a smaller proportion coming from the greater São Paulo area (16.77%) and other regions.
Conclusion:
Understanding the sociodemographic profile of patients treated by the medical complex of Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology Service/Hospital São Paulo/Escola Paulista de Medicina/Universidade Federal de São Paulo will be fundamental for developing more effective and personalized medical intervention strategies, aiming to increase treatment adherence and improve the quality of care provided. These data may also be useful for other medical centers in Brazil and other parts of the world.
