Figure 1 Adjusted rates of treatments and follow-up care according to age at acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presentation. (A) Adjusted risk ratios of coronary angiography by six months after AMI according to age. Adjusted risk ratios ± 95% confidence intervals for angiography by six months after myocardial infarction (MI) for a typical male and female patient (average median neighborhood income and predicted probability of 30-day mortality who is admitted to an internist at a non-tertiary hospital). P value for the age–gender interaction, p < 0.001. (B) Adjusted risk ratios of follow-up by a cardiologist by one-year after AMI according to age. Adjusted risk ratios ± 95% confidence intervals for cardiology follow-up care by one year after MI for a typical male and female patient (average median neighborhood income and predicted probability of 30-day mortality who is admitted to an internist at a non-tertiary hospital). P value for the age–gender interaction, p < 0.001. (C) Adjusted risk ratios of general practitioner-only or no physician follow-up by one year after AMI according to age. Adjusted risk ratios ± 95% confidence intervals for general practitioner-only or no physician follow-up care by one year after MI for a typical male and female patient (average median neighborhood income and predicted probability of 30-day mortality who is admitted to an internist at a non-tertiary hospital). P value for the age–gender interaction, p < 0.001. Solid diamond = men; open square = women.
