Purpose: To assess the predictive value of SS II (SYNTAX score II) for long-term outcomes in ST-elevated myoarial infarction (STEMI) patients. Source: PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched up until September 24, 2021. Two investigators extracted data independently from the relevant articles. A random-effects model was conducted to combine the pooled hazard ratio (HR) or risk ratio (RR) for association between SS II and long term outcomes. Principal findings: A total of 12 articles (7,195 subjects) were included in the final meta-analyses. Analysis of nine of the articles showed that higher SS II predicted poor long term all-cause mortality among STEMI patients (pooled RRs=4.09,95%CI: 3.49-4.80). A similar association of SS II with poor long term mortality was observed when the crude HRs and adjusted HRs were pooled (crude HRs: pooled HR=1.07, 95%CI: 1.04-1.09; adjusted HRs: pooled HR=1.05, 95%CI:1.04-1.07). The STEMI patients with higher SS II also showed a higher associated with increased risk of long term major adverse cardiac events (pooled HR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02-1.07; pooled RR=2.28, 95%CI:2.02-2.57). A consistent association was found for heart failure among STEMI patients. Conclusion: Higher SS II predicted poor long term all-cause mortality, major adverse cardia events and heart failure among STEMI patients
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
