Key result
Higher SYNTAX II scores demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation with both 14-day mortality (r = 0.389, p < 0.001) and MACE (r = 0.421, p < 0.001) in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
Why the study?
Established risk scores barely address lesion complexity in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, creating a need to assess whether the SYNTAX II score correlates with immediate outcomes.
Does the SYNTAX II score correlate with immediate mortality and MACE in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?
Population
124 STEMI patients burdened by multivessel CAD undergoing primary PCI

Does the SYNTAX II score correlate with immediate mortality and MACE in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?
Effect estimate: r = 0.389
p-value: p=<0.001
The SYNTAX II score is a useful prognostic tool for predicting short-term (14-day) mortality and MACE in patients with acute STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
Hassan et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) (n=124). SYNTAX II Score was evaluated on Mortality within 14 days post-PCI (r = 0.389, p=<0.001). Higher SYNTAX II scores demonstrated a statistically significant positive correlation with both 14-day mortality (r = 0.389, p < 0.001) and MACE (r = 0.421, p < 0.001) in acute STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
