Validation of the Danish Comorbidity Index for Acute Myocardial Infarction for predicting one-year mortality in patients with venous thromboembolism.

Introduction: The Danish Comorbidity Index for Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANCAMI) was developed to predict one-year mortality after myocardial infarction. We validated DANCAMI in predicting one-year mortality after venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Materials And Methods: We identified all first-time VTE patients in Denmark during 2000-2015.

The DANish Comorbidity Index for Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANCAMI): Development, Validation and Comparison with Existing Comorbidity Indices.

Objective: To develop and validate the DANish Comorbidity index for Acute Myocardial Infarction (DANCAMI) for adjustment of comorbidity burden in studies of myocardial infarction prognosis.

Methods: Using medical registries, we identified patients with first-time myocardial infarction in Denmark during 2000-2013 (n=36,685). We developed comorbidity indices predicting 1-year all-cause mortality from all comorbidities (DANCAMI) and restricted to non-cardiovascular comorbidities (rDANCAMI).
