TIMI Risk Score* for NSTE-ACS
| TIMI Risk Score | All-Cause Mortality, New or Recurrent MI, or Severe Recurrent Ischemia Requiring Urgent Revascularization Through 14 d After Randomization, % |
|---|---|
| 0–1 | 4.7 |
| 2 | 8.3 |
| 3 | 13.2 |
| 4 | 19.9 |
| 5 | 26.2 |
| 6–7 | 40.9 |
* The TIMI risk score is determined by the sum of the presence of 7 variables at admission; 1 point is given for each of the following variables: ≥65 y of age; ≥3 risk factors for CAD; prior coronary stenosis ≥50%; ST deviation on ECG; ≥2 anginal events in prior 24 h; use of aspirin in prior 7 d; and elevated cardiac biomarkers.
CAD indicates coronary artery disease; ECG, electrocardiogram; Ml, myocardial infarction; NSTE-ACS, non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes; and TIMI, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction.
