Description

Grayson et al reported a multivariate prediction model for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from the Cardiothoracic Centre Liverpool, Blackpool Victoria Hospital, Manchester Royal Infirmary and South Manchester University Hospital.


Patient selection: PCI

 

MACE: in-hospital deaths, Q wave AMI, emergency CABG, cerebrovascular accident

 

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) sex

(3) cerebrovascular disease

(4) cardiogenic shock

(5) acuity for the PCI

(6) left main stem (LMS) lesion treated

(7) graft lesion treated

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.76.
