Topic: Predictors of clinically important events in patients with prehospital ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction: a clinical prediction model for paramedics

Learning objectives

Which patients experience a clinical deterioration that could benefit from Advanced Life Support care en-route to hospital, and can a prediction model that is derived and validated in the prehospital setting accurately identify them?
Among prehospital STEMI patients being transported for primary PCI, is there support for a clinical prediction model for patient deterioration and what performance would the model need to have before being implemented? Additionally, what are current prehospital practices related to STEMI care, what are some barriers to optimal STEMI care, and how could prehospital STEMI care be improved?
Can the derived and validated prediction rule be applied in other geographical locations, and will it maintain the same predictive ability?
