[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS Fs7R0xq9. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background/objective : Almost two-thirds of the coronary death rate decrease in the northern Italian Brianza MONICA male population, between 1993-4 and 1997-8, are attributable to a reduction in 28-day myocardial infarction (Ml) case-fatality. The present paper investigates the factors associated with Ml case-fatality decrease and in particular the role of socio-occupational classes (SOCs). Methods : Standardised information on acute coronary care and intervention before and during the hospitalisation was collected for all coronary events (n=1817) registered in 1993-4 and in 1997-8 among 35-64-year-old male residents in Brianza. Deaths within 28 days after Ml were carefully investigated. Five SOCs were defined adopting the Erikson-Goldthorpe-Portocarero method. Differences in 28-day Ml case-fatality and in acute phase intervention and treatment over time and among SOCs in each period were assessed. Results : 28-day Ml case-fatality reduction (27.2%) can be mainly attributed to a decreased proportion of Ml events that were fatal before reaching the hospital. In the lower SOCs significant changes in Ml case-fatality were detected between 1993-4 and 1997-8. Differences in acute phase intervention and treatment between the periods were observed. SOC differences both in prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and in the pre-hospital qualified intervention score were detected in the first period only. Conclusions : In the study population Ml case-fatality reduction can be mainly attributed to a more effective and prompt management before hospitalisation and to an improvement in acute treatment during hospitalisation. This enhancement is made available to the whole population overtaking social differences.
