What is the TIMI Risk Score?
The TIMI Risk Score is a 7-point risk indicator that is rated on presentation and can be used to predict 30-day and 1-year mortality in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). It was developed from the TIMI 11B trial and validated in two separate cohorts of patients from the ESSENCE (Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Enoxaparin in Non Q-Wave Coronary Syndromes) and GUSTO (Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries) IIb trials. The TIMI risk score calculator is available online at www.timi.org. Additionally, the GRACE risk model can be used to predict in-hospital and post-discharge mortality or myocardial infarction (MI).
