Does the GRACE risk prediction tool accurately predict the cumulative six month risk of death or myocardial infarction in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
The GRACE risk prediction tool provides a rapid and widely applicable method for assessing cardiovascular risk to guide triage and management in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
This risk prediction tool uses readily identifiable variables to provide robust prediction of the cumulative six month risk of death or myocardial infarction. It is a rapid and widely applicable method for assessing cardiovascular risk to complement clinical assessment and can guide patient triage and management across the spectrum of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Fox et al. (2006) studied this question.
