Predicting mortality in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PAMI risk score).
We performed a pooled analysis of the Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PAMI) trials to examine predictors of death after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Using these data, we developed a risk score with a range of 0 to 15 points. The PAMI risk score was found to be a strong predictor of late mortality.
