Do age and wall motion score index predict in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Age and wall motion score index determined on admission are highly accurate predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Sahasakul et al. (1990) conducted a cohort in acute myocardial infarction (n=111). Age and wall motion score index was evaluated on in-hospital mortality. Age and wall motion score index on admission predicted in-hospital mortality after acute myocardial infarction with 76.5% sensitivity, 91.5% specificity, and 89.2% predictive accuracy.
