Risk Scores in Acute Coronary Syndrome and PCI
The literature review was conducted on PubMed and Medline using the following search terms: 'risk score', 'acute coronary syndrome', 'percutaneous coronary intervention', 'mortality', 'myocardial infarction', 'major adverse cardiac events'. References for included studies were also searched and evaluated. For each risk score, the strengths and limitations of the original derivation study were assessed and evidence of external validation sought. The research was supported by the National Institute for Health Research Newcastle Biomedical Research Centre based at Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals National Health Service Foundation Trust and Newcastle University.
