  1. *Data analysed in the 216 females and 708 males where symptom onset could be clearly assigned to the 12h period before hospital admission; pre-hospital delay: symptom onset until admission to interventional hospital; in-hopital delay: admission until start of angiography.
  2. §Complete data only available from network B.
  3. Data presented as median with interquartile ranges or percentage of patients.
  4. CABG; coronary artery bypass grafting; EMS: emergency medical services; LAD: left anterior descendant; LMS: left main stem; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention.
