Short name:![]() | AHPF PI 3.1.1–Incidence of heart attacks (acute coronary events), 2022 |
METEOR identifier:![]() | 794325 |
Registration status:![]() | Health, Qualified 28/06/2024 |
Description:![]() | Incidence of acute coronary events (acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina). |
Rationale:![]() | Acute coronary events are a form of coronary heart disease, which is one of the leading causes of disease burden in Australia. Monitoring the incidence of acute coronary events provides a measure of the burden of acute coronary heart disease in the population and informs health service planning. |

Computation description:![]() | Rates are directly age-standardised to the 2001 Australian population. |
Computation:![]() | (Numerator ÷ Denominator) × 100,000 |
Numerator:![]() | The number of deaths recorded with an underlying cause of acute coronary heart disease (a) plus the number of non-fatal hospitalisations with a principal diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina that do not end in death or a transfer to another acute hospital (b). For ages 25 years and over. |

Comments:![]() | Most recent data available for 2022 Australian Health Performance Framework: 2019. Compilation of calendar year data from the Admitted patient care NMDS requires data from 2 financial years (e.g., 2019 calendar year data uses Admitted patient care NMDSs for 2018–19 and 2019–20). This is a measure of the number of acute coronary events in a calendar year. An individual may have more than one event during a year. The criteria used to identify acute coronary events in the hospitalisation and deaths data are to minimise repeat counting of these events. This indicator has previously been published at the national level by age and sex. The data for state/territory (of usual residence) have previously been published. Direct comparison of acute coronary event rates between jurisdictions should not be made as an AIHW assessment of validity study (based on New South Wales and Western Australia data) has shown that there are variations in the ascertainment of acute coronary events between jurisdictions. This is likely due to differing treatment and referral patterns and data recording practices across states/territories, which are likely to have an impact on administrative records and affect jurisdictional comparability. The ICD-10 code set represents the disease or injury which is the direct cause of death or the circumstances of the accident or violence which led to death. The ICD-10-AM code set is used to classify diseases, injuries and related health problems. |
