Why the study?
Few studies have validated the association between Gensini scores and mortality among patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Does a higher Gensini score predict increased 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Population
2,742 ACS patients undergoing hospitalization and coronary angiography from 2 centers in China
Comparison
CAD severity categorized into Gensini score tertiles: T1 (< 42) vs T2 (42 ≤ score < 76) vs T3 (score ≥ 76)
Design
Two-center observational study
Follow-up
30 days

May aid early ACS mortality stratification; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does a higher Gensini score predict increased 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Higher Gensini scores are positively associated with 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome, highlighting its utility as a simple tool for early risk stratification.
Zhang et al. (2025) studied this question.
