A novel risk score for long-term mortality assessment after percutaneous coronary intervention: weighting the importance of complications after procedures
Background
Clinical and angiographic risk factors associated with adverse outcomes after PCI have been included in previous validated risk scores. Complications after PCI are known to increase mortality and morbidity but have not been included in any model.
Aim
We aimed to build and validate a risk score, including baseline characteristics and postprocedural complications, for patients undergoing PCI.
Aim
We aimed to build and validate a risk score, including baseline characteristics and postprocedural complications, for patients undergoing PCI.
Methods
We analyzed consecutive patients who underwent PCI from 2000 to 2005. Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock were excluded. Logistic regression and bootstrap methods were used to build an integer risk score for estimating the risk of death at 1 year after PCI, using baseline, angiographic, and procedural characteristics and postprocedural complications. We validated this risk score in a set of patients who underwent PCI from 2006 to 2007.
