However, there appeared to be a difference between hospitals that were designated stroke centers and those that were not with respect to mortality after admission for an acute myocardial infarction. The statistical analysis in Table 5 showed better mortality at every time point (1 day, 7 days, and 30 days) for both gastrointestinal hemorrhage and myocardial infarction in the designated stroke center hospitals compared with nondesignated hospitals. Although a secondary analysis, the unadjusted mortality difference at 30 days for patients with myocardial infarction reached a statistical significance of .0001.
