Data on risk factors related to in-hospital mortality in patients less than 55 years of age with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in young patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction are poorly described. In addition, it is increasingly recognized that these risk factors might differ from those of older patients. The dataset herein presented describes the association between different variables and in-hospital mortality in patients <55 years old with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. This data supplements the manuscript “Sex Related Differences in the Treatment of ST-Segment Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients Aged <55 Years” (Lorente-Ros et al.) Data for this data in brief article were obtained from a prospective database of patients <55 years old with confirmed ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction admitted to a tertiary care hospital during an 11-year period. The data were collected via review of the clinical charts. The dataset describes the relative risk and 95% confidence interval of in-hospital mortality for each variable, including cardiovascular risk factors, angiographic findings, treatment received, and complications developed. Patients in this dataset represent a unique population, given that it only includes confirmed ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction while excluding other types of acute coronary syndrome, the patient's young age, and the reflection of contemporary up-to-date practices. This dataset will be valuable to further build on knowledge on the prognostic markers of acute myocardial infarction in a younger patient population.
