Predicting long-term prognosis after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with new onset ST-elevation myocardial infarction: development and external validation of a nomogram model

Cardiovasc DiabetolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our validated prediction nomogram based on the TyG index and electronic health records data was shown to provide accurate and reliable discrimination of new-onset STEMI patients at high- and low-risk for major adverse cardiac events at 2, 3 and 5 years following emergency PCI.

Study context

Population
New-onset ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients admitted at two heart centers for emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), December 2015 to March 2018

Further findings

Calibration

Significant correlation between predicted and actual outcomes in both cohorts; nomogram well calibrated

Decision curve analysis

Decision curve analysis (DCA) confirmed the clinical value of the development prediction nomogram
