This editorial refers to ‘TIMI, PURSUIT, and GRACE risk scores: sustained prognostic value and interaction with revascularization in NSTE-ACS’{dagger} by P. de Araújo Gonçalves et al., on page 865

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

In their paper, de Araújo Goncalves et al.1 from Portugal compared three risk-stratification algorithms—the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score,2 the Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa in Unstable Angina: Receptor Suppression Using Integrilin Therapy (PURSUIT) score,3 and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score4 in predicting 1-year outcome in 460 consecutive patients aged 63.4±10.8 presenting with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). Predictive accuracy of each risk score was fair to good for death or myocardial infarction (MI) at 1-year, which occurred in 15.4% of patients (including 32 deaths and 49 MIs) with the C index ranging from 0.585 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.539–0.631] with the TIMI score, to 0.630 . . .
