Why the study?
Limited contemporary data existed regarding the impact of SYNTAX score on in-hospital outcomes in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
Does a high SYNTAX score predict worse in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
Comparison
High SYNTAX score (>22) vs low SYNTAX score (≤22)

SYNTAX score independently predicts in-hospital outcomes in STEMI primary PCI; leaves open prospective validation before guiding decisions.
Does a high SYNTAX score predict worse in-hospital outcomes in patients with acute STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
A high SYNTAX score (>22) is an independent predictor of adverse in-hospital outcomes, including lower rates of TIMI 3 flow, in patients with acute STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
