This was a retrospective study using the Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database
 (NHIRD). The study employed two study designs for different purposes as follows:
 
 - A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to explore the annual incidence trends.
 
 - A longitudinal cohort study was conducted to assess baseline characteristics, treatment
 patterns, long-term healthcare utilization, and cause-specific mortality among incident
 AMI patients.
 
 In each part, the study was conducted for AMI, and separately for ST-segment elevation and
 non-ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI and NSTEMI)
