Key result
A 7-variable logistic prognostic function successfully predicted 2-year cardiovascular mortality in men after a first myocardial infarction, concentrating ~60% of deaths in the highest risk quintile.

Does a 7-variable multivariate logistic function predict cardiovascular deaths and non-fatal reinfarctions in men after a first myocardial infarction?
A clinical prognostic model based on 7 variables can predict 2-year cardiovascular mortality risk in men after a first myocardial infarction.
Vedin et al. (1977) conducted a cohort in Myocardial Infarction (n=487). Logistic multivariate prognostic function (7 variables) was evaluated on Cardiovascular deaths during two years. A 7-variable logistic prognostic function successfully predicted 2-year cardiovascular mortality in men after a first myocardial infarction, concentrating ~60% of deaths in the highest risk quintile.
