According to ROC analysis, NGAL, BNP and TIMI scores are useful for the early risk stratification of 1-year mortality and risk of readmission for AHF.
Using risk stratification, the 5-year bDFS was 84.7%, 73.4%, and 75.3% (ASTRO) and 91.1%, 78.5%, and 62.2% (Phoenix) for low-, medium-, and high-risk groups, respectively.
Thus, the addition of a new factor to the GRACE score model allows a more accurate risk stratification within one year after myocardial infarction.
DSE provided optimal risk stratification up to 7 years after initial testing.
Survival analysis showed that DSE provided optimal risk stratification up to 7 years after initial testing; after that period, the risk of adverse outcome increased comparably in both normal and abnormal DSE patients.
There is growing interest in the last 6 years on risk stratification in SA patients specifically; hence risk factor research inevitably followed this concept of individualization.
We found that a multimarker strategy could improve risk stratification for mortality within 3 years, in particular in patients with moderately elevated NTproBNP (2000 8000 ng/l).
Risk stratification based on the predicted 20-year risk can be modulated according to different prevention aims, that is, either to reduce the fraction of events potentially unprevented or to avoid unnecessary treatment.
In recent years, guidelines have recommended risk stratification based management [ 9– 11], setting personalized treatment goals based on patients' individual cardiovascular risks.
GPs who performed behaviours relevant for risk stratification had been in general practice for fewer years compared with those who did not (Mean = 17.8 years vs Mean = 19.6 years) (p = 0.046).
