ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To investigate a new risk score for acute chest pain with suspected non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
METHODS: Patients who suffered from Chest pain and suspected NSTE-ACS were enrolled as subjects. Predictor variables had been analyzed, and a bootstrap technique was used to evaluate the internal validity of the model, and external validation had been assessed for a prospective cohort study.
RESULTS: Thousand five hundred and sixty-eight patients had been included in this study. Six predictor variables were found to be significant and were used to develop the model. The C-statistic of the model was 0.83, and internal validation revealed the stability of the model and the absence of over-optimism. Patients were given different triage recommendations, and the risk score was prospectively validated.
CONCLUSIONS: A risk score may be a suitable method for assessing the risk of major adverse cardiac events and aiding patient triage in emergency departments among patients with suspected NSTE-ACS.
