Why the study?
Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death and disease burden, creating an urgent need for a practical and reliable prediction scoring system for risk and severity evaluation in primary prevention.
Does the China-PAR scoring system predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography?
Does the China-PAR scoring system predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography?
The China-PAR scoring system can be used to predict the presence and severity of coronary artery disease in Chinese patients, offering a cost-effective method for CAD identification.
China-PAR cut-off shows modest CAD discrimination; leaves open prospective validation before clinical risk stratification use.
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of death and disease burden in China and worldwide. A practical and reliable prediction scoring system for CAD risk and severity evaluation is urgently needed for primary prevention. AIM: To examine whether the prediction for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in China (China-PAR) scoring system could be used for this purpose. METHODS: A total of 6813 consecutive patients who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography were enrolled. The China-PAR score was calculated for each patient and CAD severity was assessed by the Gensini score (GS). CONCLUSION: The China-PAR scoring system may be useful in predicting the presence and severity of CAD.
