Description

Maluenda et al developed a model for predicting 1-year mortality for a patient undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive management. The authors are from Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C.


 

Parameters:

(1) TIMI grade immediately after the PCI

(2) congestive heart failure (CHF)

(3) left main coronary artery disease (>= 50% stenosis)

(4) chronic renal failure

(5) history of diabetes

(6) baseline hematocrit in percent

(7) drop in hematocrit after the procedure

(8) age in decades after 40 years

total score =

= SUM(points for all 8 parameters)

 

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 30 (article says 26, but age of subjects went over 80 years)

• The higher the score the greater the 1 year mortality risk.

• A risk > 25% was considered very high risk and 10.1 to 25% high risk.
