Main outcomes are the incidences of PPCI, delayed treatment, and in-hospital mortality.RESULTS A total of 6,609 patients underwent PPCI in 77 centers, located in 18 countries. In 2020, during the pandemic, there was a significant reduction in PPCI as compared with 2019 (incidence rate ratio: 0.811; 95% confidence interval: 0.78 to 0.84; p PB Elsevier science inc SN 0735-1097 YR 2020 FD 2020-11-17 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10668/18808 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10668/18808 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 8, 2025
