Meta-analysis shows SVEAT score predicts major adverse cardiac events better than HEART and TIMI scores, indicating potential clinical utility.

This research aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the SVEAT score for predicting 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Conducted a systematic literature search across five databases following PRISMA guidelines.
Included four studies with 1,520 patients for meta-analysis.
Assessed predictive accuracy using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).
Evaluated heterogeneity using the I² statistic and performed indirect comparisons with the Z-test.
Pooled AUC for the SVEAT score was 0.92, surpassing HEART (0.86) and TIMI (0.82) scores.
Significant heterogeneity (I² = 90.6%) was noted across studies.
No statistically significant differences were found between scoring systems despite observations of higher AUC for SVEAT.

Tran et al. (2026) studied this question.
