Predictors of in-hospital mortality in Thai STEMI patients: results from TACSR.

Background: Clinical predictors of high-risk STEMI patients may guide physicians to the type of treatment, as high-risk patients need more aggressive treatment than low-risk patients. There was no previous registry of STEMI patients in Thailand.

Objective: To determine the clinical predictors of in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients from the Thai ACS MATERIAL AND METHOD: A multi-center prospective nationwide Thai Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry (TACSR) was done between August 1, 2002 and October 31, 2005.
