摘要
Objective:The current systematic review aimed to assess the impact of smoking cessation counseling(SCC)on patients’short-and long-term mor tality after acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods:The Cochrane guidelines were used to conduct a systematic review of Medline(Pub Med),Science Direct,CINAHL Cochrane database,and Google Scholar for studies on the impact of SCC on AMI patients’mor tality.Results:Five studies were found to meet the predefined inclusion criteria.Smoker patients were not routinely counseled to quit smoking during their post-AMI hospital stay.Studies showed a reduction in mor tality among AMI patients’who received SCC compared with patients who did not receive it.Conclusions:SCC during hospitalization and after discharge is a simple and cost-effective intervention that improves AMI patients’survival.
