Key result
The GRACE risk score was significantly more accurate than the TIMI risk score in predicting 3-year mortality in Chinese patients with NSTEMI (p=0.035) and STEMI (p=0.009).
Why the study?
Does the GRACE risk score predict long-term outcomes better than the TIMI risk score in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Population
726 consecutive Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction (55.6% STEMI, 44.4% NSTEMI)
Comparison
GRACE risk score assessment vs TIMI risk score assessment
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
up to 3 years

May support GRACE over TIMI for long-term prognostication in Chinese AMI; extends validation but remains hypothesis-generating.

Does the GRACE risk score predict long-term outcomes better than the TIMI risk score in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction?
The GRACE risk score provides superior long-term prognostic accuracy compared to the TIMI risk score in Chinese patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Chen et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=726). GRACE risk score vs. TIMI risk score was evaluated on Short-term and long-term death and triple endpoints (death, MI, and stroke). The GRACE risk score was significantly more accurate than the TIMI risk score in predicting 3-year mortality in Chinese patients with NSTEMI (p=0.035) and STEMI (p=0.009).
