Prospective Comparison of the 5 Most Popular Risk Scores in Clinical Use for Unselected Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

Association of Plasma Concentration of Small Heat Shock Protein B7 With Acute Coronary Syndrome

“…43 Other scores are used for risk stratification in patients with ACS. 44 Risk factors of CAD are diabetes mellitus, older age, male sex, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and CAD family history. These factors help physicians stratify risk for patients presenting with acute chest pain.…”

To Develop New or to Improve Existing Tools for Risk Stratification in Acute Coronary Syndromes?

“…Twelve independent factors influencing 1-year mortality were identified, and physical findings (age 1 65 years, aborted sudden cardiac death, pulmonary edema, prior angina, history of heart failure, systolic blood pressure ! 130 mm Hg, and heart rate 1 78 beats/ min), first electrocardiogram (His bundle block, ST depression, anterolateral ST elevation, and Q waves), and myocardial necrosis markers demonstrated sufficiently high predictive value [26] .…”

“…The study demonstrated that the KAMIR score had better predictive accuracy for 1-year mortality than the GRACE postdischarge risk model in the validation cohort [25] . The Banacha risk model has also recently been published by Filipiak et al [26] and it specifically addressed the characteristics of Polish patients with the acute coronary syndrome. The prognostic model developed from a single-center registry of 931 consecutive patients with all types of acute coronary syndromes treated mostly with invasive procedures consists of 10 risk factors and 2 protective factors that decrease the 1-year mortality risk.…”

Validación del puntaje de riesgo TIMI como predictor de mortalidad en pacientes chilenos con infarto agudo al miocardio con supradesnivel de ST

“…En este contexto, los trabajos publicados, incluyendo un meta-análisis reciente, exponen resultados similares, mostrando una clara superioridad de los puntajes TIMI y GRACE respecto a otros como el ZWOLLE y el SIMPLE, alcanzando ABC mayores a 0,84 según la población estudiada 5,10,11 . Ahora bien, al comparar estos dos instrumentos aparentemente mejores, existe una tendencia a la superioridad del puntaje de GRACE versus el TIMI para IAMSDST, en cuanto a predecir mortalidad a largo plazo y a la validez de su uso en pacientes de mayor edad 5,11,12 .…”
