Implication
High SYNTAX score flags no-reflow risk in STEMI primary PCI; leaves open whether integration improves outcomes.
Structured PICO
Does a high SYNTAX score predict worse in-hospital outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
P
Population
538 patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) between January 2010 and December 2012
I
Intervention
High SYNTAX score (> 22)
C
Comparator
Low SYNTAX score (< 22)
O
Outcome
In-hospital outcomes including no-reflow, left ventricular ejection fraction, re-infarction, and mortalityhard clinical
The SYNTAX score calculated from the initial angiogram is an independent predictor of no-reflow and is associated with worse in-hospital clinical outcomes in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
