Table summary
This table displays the results of age-standardized percentages of acute myocardial infarction (ami) hospital patients with comorbid conditions at time of admission. The information is grouped by comorbid condition (appearing as row headers), high-percentage first nations identity areas and low-percentage aboriginal identity areas (appearing as column headers).
Comorbid condition High-percentage First Nations identity areas Low-percentage Aboriginal identity areas
At least one 54.5Note * 46.1
Diabetes 39.3Note * 27.4
Heart failure 11.3 11.4
Cardiac dysrhythmia 6.2 6.8
Renal disease 4.6 5.1
Shock 1.9 1.7
Hypertension 3.8Note * 4.7
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3.2 2.7
AMI in preceding year 6.6Note * 5.3
Note *

significantly different from low-percentage Aboriginal identity areas (p<0.05)

Notes: Percentages are standardized to age distribution of patients from high-percentage First Nations identity areas. Results are based on six years of data to allow for calculation of “AMI in preceding year.”
