The hospitalization lengths of total, male, Dovitinib supplier and female STEMI were not significantly changed over the 10-year period. The hospitalization lengths of total and female NSTEMI were not significantly changed over the 10 year period, but were increased in male NSTEMI in 2005~2006 and 2007~2008. The hospitalization lengths of AMI, STEMI, and NSTEMI were similar between male and female over the 10-year period. Figure 4Hospitalization lengths of total, male, and female acute myocardial infarction (AMI, (a)), ST elevation MI (STEMI, (b)), or non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI, (c)) from 1999 to 2008.Table 2 shows the average hospitalization age, hospitalization cost, and hospitalization lengths of AMI between medical centers and non-medical centers.

As compared to non-medical centers, the hospitalization cost of total, female, and male AMI was larger in medial center. The hospitalization lengths of total and male AMI were longer in medical center, but the hospitalization lengths of female AMI were similar between medical center and non-medical center. In STEMI, the hospitalization cost of total and male patients was larger in medial center than in non-medical center, but was not significantly different in female patients (P = 0.07). The hospitalization lengths of total STEMI were longer in medical center than in non-medical center, but were not significantly different in male (P = 0.06) or female (P = 0.11) patients. In NSTEMI, the hospitalization cost of total, male, and female patients was larger in medical center than in non-medical center. The hospitalization lengths of total (P = 0.

09), male (P = 0.18), and female (P = 0.29) patients were similar between medical center and non-medical center. The hospitalization age of AMI and STEMI was similar between center and non-center both in male and female gender. However, the hospitalization age of NSTEMI was younger in medical center than in non-medical center. Table 2Differences between medical center and non-medical center.Because the average hospitalization cost from 1999�C2008 is close to NT 10670, therefore, we choose this value (10000 NT dollars) for grouping. Figure 5 showed the comparisons between the patients with higher (��10000 NT dollar/day) or lower (<10000 NT dollar/day) hospitalization cost. The higher hospitalization cost in total and male patients with AMI and STEMI was younger and admitted shorter than the lower hospitalization cost total and male patients with AMI and STEMI, respectively. However, the age in higher and lower hospitalization cost was similar in female patients with Carfilzomib AMI and STEMI and similar in total, male, and female NSTEMI patients.
