Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS AND RESULTS: Altogether, 10 RCT's and 1 retrospective study with a total number of 26,658 STEMI patients were included. Random-effects model with Mantel-Heanszel weighting was used to pool outcomes into a meta-analysis. Therapy with clopidogrel was associated with 2.76% 30-day STEMI mortality which was similar to that of ticagrelor (2.6%; OR=0.9395 [CI=0.76 to 1.17; p=0.58]), and for bivalirudin (2.8%; OR=1.02 [CI=0.82 to 1.27; p=0.86]), but was slightly higher for heparin (3.0%; OR=1.08 [CI=0.86 to 1.35; p=0.52]). There was a trend towards lower mortality after tirofiban (2.1%; OR=0.77 [CI=0.52 to 1.13; p=0.20]), and cangrelor (1.7%; OR=0.59 [CI=0.29 to 1.20; p=0.19]), although the sample size for both agents was woefully small. The only agent which offers a significant 30-day mortality benefit in STEMI was prasugrel with significant lowest 1.75% death rate (OR=0.63 [CI=0.46 to 0.86; p=0.03]). CONCLUSIONS:
