Comparison of the Predictive Roles of Risk Scores of In-Hospital Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Objective. We evaluated the relationship between various risk scores (SYNTAX score (SS), SYNTAX score-II (SS-II), thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk scores and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk scores) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Subjects and Methods: The study population were selected from among 589 patients who underwent coronary angiography with a diagnosis of NSTEMI. TIMI and GRACE risk scores were calculated. SS and SS-II were calculated in all patients, and points were added according to the predefined algorithm, taking into account the other six clinical variables being monitored (age, sex, left ventricular ejection fraction, creatinine clearance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and peripheral artery disease). Patients were classified into tertile 1 (SS 32). Results: The group with high SS-II for PCI values in the risk scores were observed from tertile 1 to 3 tertile (from 25.0 ±7.7 to 31.6±9.4, p
