  1. Data are N (%) or Mean ± SD. For any given characteristic, the denominator of percentage is all STEMIs with available data on that characteristic
  2. aNs are the number of STEMIs. There were a total of 921 STEMIs among 912 patients
  3. bDenominator is all STEMIs (N = 921 for “All years”, N = 249 for “Before”, N = 372 for “During”, and N = 300 for “After”)
