A simple risk score for prediction of mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS).

Aims: To develop an easily applicable prognostic model that can predict mortality risk in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS).

Methods And Results: A retrospective analysis of 630 consecutive patients undergoing PCI for NSTEACS at our institution between January 1999 and December 2000 (development phase). Multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify independent predictors of mortality.
