TIMI Risk Score for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Convenient, Bedside, Clinical Score for Risk Assessment at Presentation
Why the study?
Does the TIMI risk score for STEMI provide prognostic information comparable to a full logistic regression model in fibrinolytic-eligible patients with STEMI?
Population
Fibrinolytic-eligible patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Comparison
