Does the TIMI risk score for STEMI provide prognostic information comparable to a full logistic regression model in fibrinolytic-eligible patients with STEMI?
The TIMI risk score is a convenient bedside clinical tool for risk assessment in the triage and management of fibrinolytic-eligible patients with STEMI.
The TIMI risk score for STEMI captures the majority of prognostic information offered by a full logistic regression model but is more readily used at the bedside. This risk assessment tool is likely to be clinically useful in the triage and management of fibrinolytic-eligible patients with STEMI.
