The AHEAD score as a predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a secondary analysis of the Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The AHEAD score - comprising atrial fibrillation, haemoglobin, elderly age, abnormal renal function, and diabetes mellitus - is a validated prognostic model for patients with heart failure. However, its predictive value in acute myocardial infarction (MI), particularly in large real-world cohorts, remains uncertain.

Aims

We aimed to assess the utility of the AHEAD score in predicting 1-year all-cause mortality in patients with acute MI.

Methods

This secondary analysis of the Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (JAMIR) included 3,067 patients with acute MI enrolled across 50 Japanese institutions between December 2015 and May 2017. Patients were stratified by AHEAD score at admission. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality within 1 year after ac
