Implication
May inform risk stratification in NSTE-ACS; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Structured PICO
What are the baseline predictors of 30-day death and death or myocardial (re)infarction in patients with acute coronary syndromes without persistent ST-segment elevation?
P
Population
9,461 patients with acute coronary syndromes without persistent ST-segment elevation enrolled in the PURSUIT trial
O
Outcome
30-day incidence of death and the composite of death or myocardial (re)infarctioncomposite
Age, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, ST-segment depression, signs of heart failure, and cardiac enzymes are the most important baseline predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with NSTE-ACS.
