Percentage of door-to-balloon alliance hospitals reporting use of recommended strategies at baseline and follow-up surveys. Analyses were conducted for
hospitals that responded to the selected item in both the baseline and the follow-up surveys; therefore, numbers vary by strategy because of missing data
on selected survey items: n = 683 for the first two strategies listed, n = 664 for the third strategy listed, n = 598 for the fourth strategy listed, and n = 608 for
the last strategy listed. Proportions at follow-up were significantly greater than proportions at baseline for each strategy (McNemar test for difference in
proportions, P < .001). cath lab, catheterization laboratory; D2B, door-to-balloon; ECG, electrocardiogram; EM, emergency medicine. Reproduced with
