The investigation of TIMI risk index for prediction of contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSION: This study is the first to demonstrate that TRI can be used to predict the development of CI-AKI in patients with STEMI who undergo primary PCI. Health professionals might be able to use the TRI risk score to predict CI-AKI due to the simplicity and accessibility of this risk index.
