Abstract

The Mayo Clinic medical record linkage and indexing system was used to examine changes in incidence and case fatality of myocardial infarction (MI), sudden unexpected death (SUD), and cerebral infarction (CI). The average annual age and sex adjusted incidence rates for MI (including SUD) and CI declined by 14% and 55%, respectively, between 1950-54 and 1975-79. The decline in the incidence of MI was due to a reduction in sudden unexpected death (SUD), greatest in younger persons. 30-day case fatality after MI declined from 50% to 35% during this period.

摘要

梅奥诊所的医疗记录链接与索引系统用于研究心肌梗死（MI）、意外猝死（SUD）和脑梗死（CI）的发病率及病死率变化。在1950 - 1954年至1975 - 1979年间，MI（包括SUD）和CI的平均年龄及性别调整发病率分别下降了14%和55%。MI发病率的下降归因于意外猝死（SUD）的减少，这在年轻人中最为显著。在此期间，MI后30天的病死率从50%降至35%。
