Characteristics and in-hospital mortality of patients in electrocardiographic subgroups at the Republican Hospital of Kaunas (RHK) in 2014.

Variable	RHK 2014 y. ()
	STEMI ()		NSTEMI ()
	Positive T wave ()	Negative T wave ()	Positive T wave ()	Negative T wave ()
Age (years)	75.2 ± 10.29	76.31 ± 7.59	78.64 ± 6.99	78.63 ± 11.45	0.75
Female (%)	5 (50)	10 (76.9)	10 (90.9)	15 (62.5)	0.171
Male (%)	5 (50)	3 (23.1)	1 (9.1)	9 (37.5)
Pain time <12 h (%)	7 (70)	9 (69.2)	6 (54.5)	12 (50)	0.806
Pain time 12–24 h (%)	1 (10)	0	1 (9.1)	2 (8.3)
Pain time >24 h (%)	2 (20)	4 (30.8)	4 (36.4)	10 (41.7)
Troponin T hs (ng/L)	216 ± 49.07	1188.9 ± 584.4	829 ± 253.17	1134.5 ± 265.67	0.29
LVEF (%)	36 ± 10.59	37.08 ± 13.39	39.56 ± 12.9	41 ± 11.61	0.72
In-hospital mortality (%)	2 (20)	3 (23.1)	3 (27.3)	3 (12.5)	0.73

Data presented are mean value ± SD or number (percentage) of patients. Age, troponin, and LVEF were compared using One-Way ANOVA; other data were compared using Pearson’s Chi-square test. STEMI: ST elevation myocardial infarction, NSTEMI: non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, DM: diabetes mellitus, RF: renal failure, DM + RM: diabetes and renal failure, troponin T hs: troponin T high-sensitive, LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction.
