Key result
A high SYNTAX score II (>26) was associated with a higher 1-year rate of major adverse cardiac events compared to intermediate and low scores (21.1% vs. 10.3% vs. 5.5%, P<0.001).

May refine prognostication after primary PCI; leaves open whether SYNTAX II outperforms other scores prospectively.
Cohort (n=477)
Does the SYNTAX score II predict 1-year major adverse cardiac events better than other risk scores in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI?
Absolute Event Rate: 21.1% vs 5.5%
p-value: p=<0.001
The SYNTAX score II is an independent predictor of 1-year MACE in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI and outperforms anatomical SYNTAX, Logistic Clinical SYNTAX, and GRACE scores.
Wang et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n=477). High SYNTAX score II (>26) vs. Intermediate (20-26) and low (<20) SYNTAX score II was evaluated on Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (p=<0.001). A high SYNTAX score II (>26) was associated with a higher 1-year rate of major adverse cardiac events compared to intermediate and low scores (21.1% vs. 10.3% vs. 5.5%, P<0.001).
