What is the GRACE risk model?
The GRACE risk model is a tool designed to predict in-hospital and post-discharge mortality or myocardial infarction (MI). It was developed from 11389 patients in the GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) cohort and validated in subsequent GRACE and GUSTO (Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries) IIb cohorts. The sum of scores is applied to a reference nomogram to determine all-cause mortality from hospital discharge to 6 months.
