Predicting in-hospital outcomes in acute coronary syndrome

Abstract

The authors propose a prognostic model for assessing death risk in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (possible myocardial infarction or unstable angina). The model is based on parameters registered at admission and further calculation of death risk during in-hospital follow-up period. This predicted risk gives a chance to divide patients into risk groups - with minimal (lethality <1 %) to maximal (lethality >40 %) risk. This highly effective technology provides reproducible prognostic results.
