Abstract
Background. Several risk scores have been developed to predict and analyze in-hospital mortality and short- and long-term outcomes of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI); these can classify patients as having a high or low risk of death or complications. Objective. To compare the prognostic precision of four risk scores for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI treated with PPCI. Methods. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patients with STEMI who underwent PPCI between 2012 and 2019 (N = 1346). GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Cardiac Events), CADILLAC (Controlled Abciximab and Device Investigation to Lower Late Angioplasty Complications), Zwolle, and TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) risk scores were calculated for each patient according to different variables. We evaluated the predictive accuracy of these scores for in-hospital mortality using the C statistic, which was obtained using logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curves. Results. The GRACE, CADILLAC, Zwolle, and TIMI risk scores all had good predictive precision for in-hospital mortality, with C statistics ranging from 0.842 to 0.923. The GRACE and CADILLAC risk scores were found to be superior. Conclusions. All GRACE, CADILLAC, Zwolle, and TIMI risk scores showed a high predictive value for in-hospital mortality due to all causes in patients with STEMI treated with PPCI. The GRACE and CADILLAC risk scores revealed a better accuracy for predicting in-hospital mortality than the Zwolle and TIMI risk scores.
