Admission high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels improve the Grace risk score prediction on in-hospital outcomes in acute myocardial infarction patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the main cause of death and disability in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Both the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (Grace) score and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were associated with prognosis in patients with AMI. However, whether the addition of the hs-CRP to Grace risk score could improve the predictive power of Grace risk score on the prognosis of patients with AMI is unclear.

Hypothesis

We hypothesized that the inclusion of hs-CRP in the Grace risk score could improve the ability to correctly distinguish the occurrence of in-hospital outcomes.

Methods

We retrospectively enrolled 1804 patients with AMI in the final analysis. Patients were divided into four groups by hs-CRP quarti
