What is the GRACE risk model?
The GRACE risk model is a tool used to predict in-hospital and post-discharge mortality or myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with NSTE-ACS. It was developed from 11,389 patients in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) and validated in subsequent GRACE and Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) IIb cohorts. The sum of scores is applied to a reference nomogram to determine all-cause mortality from hospital discharge to 6 months.
