Abstract

Abstract Background Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score are contemporary secondary prevention risk scoring systems. However, these scoring systems have not been validated in other populations. Purpose The aim of this study was to validate of the TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score in patients in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods The Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET) is a prospective multicenter registry conducted in 28 Japanese medical institutions. We enrolled 3,283 consecutive patients with AMI who were admitted to participating institutions within 48 hours of symptom onset between July 2012 and May 2014. Among them, 3,070 patients were included in this study after excluding 213 patients who died in the hospital. Clinical follow-up data were obtained up to 3 years. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke. The patients were stratified by the TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score. Results At the 3-year follow-up, the primary endpoint had occurred in 337 patients (11.0%). All-cause death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke had occurred in 177 (5.8%), 80 (2.6%) and 80 (2.6%) patients, respectively. TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score showed a graded association with the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke at 3 years in the J-MINUET population (Figure). Validation of atherothrombotic risk Conclusions TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score were shown to be applicable to the patients in the early phase of AMI.
