Abstract

To explore the utility of baseline SYNTAX Score (bSS) and residual SYNTAX Score (rSS) in predicting 12-month outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). 590 all-comers with acute STEMI presenting for PPCI over a 2-year period were identified. Of these, 173 were excluded because of unsuitability for SYNTAX score calculation for this study. Two experienced observers calculated the bSS and rSS. Mortality data were sourced from the government registry. Logistic regression was used to assess the predictive power of bSS and rSS for mortality. Sensitivity analysis and a Cox proportional hazards model were used to evaluate the best cut-off for increased mortality. Of the 417 patients analysed (mean age 59 years), 81% were male and 18% were known diabetics. At 12 months, the overall mortality rate was 5.5% (23/417). An rSS of >12 was associated with a 13.95% mortality rate. The hazard ratio for mortality was 3.88 (95% CI=1.49-10.09, p=0.005 ) for rSS of >12 and 3.01(95% CI=1.18-7.64, p=0.02) for bSS >12. The odds ratio (OR) for mortality was 1.06 (95% CI=1.02-1.11, p=0.009) for rSS and 1.05 (95% CI=1.02-1.1, p=0.007) for bSS. In STEMI patients undergoing PPCI, both bSS and rSS can predict mortality at 12 months. Every point on the rSS confers an additional 6% mortality risk. Calculation of the rSS after culprit lesion intervention may help guide management of non-culprit lesions.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 March 2017.
All research outputs
#4,699,670
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from EuroIntervention
#1,227
of 2,572 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,139
of 324,443 outputs
Outputs of similar age from EuroIntervention
#17
of 83 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,572 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 16.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,443 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 83 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
