IntroductionThe association of patient satisfaction with hospital ACS care and risk for long-term outcomes is incompletely described. This is particularly relevant to the Gulf region, where the ACS burden is high and literature on patient satisfaction and outcomes is lacking. The aim was to compare determinants of 1-year mortality based on patient satisfaction with ACS care in the Gulf region. MethodsIn a prospective registry of 3566 ACS patients from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and UAE (Gulf COAST registry), we grouped patients by their self-reported overall satisfaction with ACS care reported at 1-month following ACS (low satisfaction [n=1654] vs. high satisfaction [n=1912]; Table). We examined associations of baseline characteristics and risk for 1-year mortality in logistic regression models adjusted for Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score. ResultsMortality at 1-year following ACS was higher in patients reporting low satisfaction (8.8%; n=146/1654) vs. high satisfaction (5.4%; n=103/1912) (P
