TL;DR: Across the entire spectrum of ACS and in general clinical practice, this model provides excellent ability to assess the risk for death and can be used as a simple nomogram to estimate risk in individual patients.
Abstract: Background Management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) should be guided by an estimate of patient risk. Objective To develop a simple model to assess the risk for in-hospital mortality for the entire spectrum of ACS treated in general clinical practice. Methods A multivariable logistic regression model was developed using 11 389 patients (including 509 in-hospital deaths) with ACS with and without ST-segment elevation enrolled in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) from April 1, 1999, through March 31, 2001. Validation data sets included a subsequent cohort of 3972 patients enrolled in GRACE and 12 142 in the Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries IIb (GUSTO-IIb) trial. Results The following 8 independent risk factors accounted for 89.9% of the prognostic information: age (odds ratio [OR], 1.7 per 10 years), Killip class (OR, 2.0 per class), systolic blood pressure (OR, 1.4 per 20-mm Hg decrease), ST-segment deviation (OR, 2.4), cardiac arrest during presentation (OR, 4.3), serum creatinine level (OR, 1.2 per 1-mg/dL [88.4-µmol/L] increase), positive initial cardiac enzyme findings (OR, 1.6), and heart rate (OR, 1.3 per 30-beat/min increase). The discrimination ability of the simplified model was excellent with c statistics of 0.83 in the derived database, 0.84 in the confirmation GRACE data set, and 0.79 in the GUSTO-IIb database. Conclusions Across the entire spectrum of ACS and in general clinical practice, this model provides excellent ability to assess the risk for death and can be used as a simple nomogram to estimate risk in individual patients.

TL;DR: The GRACE 6-month postdischarge prediction model is a simple, robust tool for predicting mortality in patients with ACS and Clinicians may find it simple to use and applicable to clinical practice.
Abstract: ContextAccurate estimation of risk for untoward outcomes after patients have
been hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may help clinicians
guide the type and intensity of therapy.ObjectiveTo develop a simple decision tool for bedside risk estimation of 6-month
mortality in patients surviving admission for an ACS.Design, Setting, and PatientsA multinational registry, involving 94 hospitals in 14 countries, that
used data from the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) to develop
and validate a multivariable stepwise regression model for death during 6
months postdischarge. From 17 142 patients presenting with an ACS from
April 1, 1999, to March 31, 2002, and discharged alive, 15 007 (87.5%)
had complete 6-month follow-up and represented the development cohort for
a model that was subsequently tested on a validation cohort of 7638 patients
admitted from April 1, 2002, to December 31, 2003.Main Outcome MeasureAll-cause mortality during 6 months postdischarge after admission for
an ACS.ResultsThe 6-month mortality rates were similar in the development (n = 717;
4.8%) and validation cohorts (n = 331; 4.7%). The risk-prediction tool for
all forms of ACS identified 9 variables predictive of 6-month mortality: older
age, history of myocardial infarction, history of heart failure, increased
pulse rate at presentation, lower systolic blood pressure at presentation,
elevated initial serum creatinine level, elevated initial serum cardiac biomarker
levels, ST-segment depression on presenting electrocardiogram, and not having
a percutaneous coronary intervention performed in hospital. The c statistics for the development and validation cohorts were 0.81 and
0.75, respectively.ConclusionsThe GRACE 6-month postdischarge prediction model is a simple, robust
tool for predicting mortality in patients with ACS. Clinicians may find it
simple to use and applicable to clinical practice.

TL;DR: This risk prediction tool uses readily identifiable variables to provide robust prediction of the cumulative six month risk of death or myocardial infarction and can guide patient triage and management across the spectrum of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Abstract: Objective To develop a clinical risk prediction tool for estimating the cumulative six month risk of death and death or myocardial infarction to facilitate triage and management of patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Design Prospective multinational observational study in which we used multivariable regression to develop a final predictive model, with prospective and external validation.
Setting Ninety four hospitals in 14 countries in Europe, North and South America, Australia, and New Zealand.
Population 43 810 patients (21 688 in derivation set; 22 122 in validation set) presenting with acute coronary syndrome with or without ST segment elevation enrolled in the global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) study between April 1999 and September 2005.
Main outcome measures Death and myocardial infarction.
Results 1989 patients died in hospital, 1466 died between discharge and six month follow-up, and 2793 sustained a new non-fatal myocardial infarction. Nine factors independently predicted death and the combined end point of death or myocardial infarction in the period from admission to six months after discharge: age, development (or history) of heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, systolic blood pressure, Killip class, initial serum creatinine concentration, elevated initial cardiac markers, cardiac arrest on admission, and ST segment deviation. The simplified model was robust, with prospectively validated C-statistics of 0.81 for predicting death and 0.73 for death or myocardial infarction from admission to six months after discharge. The external applicability of the model was validated in the dataset from GUSTO IIb (global use of strategies to open occluded coronary arteries).
Conclusions This risk prediction tool uses readily identifiable variables to provide robust prediction of the cumulative six month risk of death or myocardial infarction. It is a rapid and widely applicable method for assessing cardiovascular risk to complement clinical assessment and can guide patient triage and management across the spectrum of patients with acute coronary syndrome.

TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, albiglutide was superior to placebo with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events, and evidence-based glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists should be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: In patients with atrial fibrillation, apixaban was superior to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism, caused less bleeding, and resulted in lower mortality.
Abstract: A b s t r ac t Background Vitamin K antagonists are highly effective in preventing stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but have several limitations. Apixaban is a novel oral direct factor Xa inhibitor that has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke in a similar population in comparison with aspirin. Methods In this randomized, double-blind trial, we compared apixaban (at a dose of 5 mg twice daily) with warfarin (target international normalized ratio, 2.0 to 3.0) in 18,201 patients with atrial fibrillation and at least one additional risk factor for stroke. The primary outcome was ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke or systemic em - bolism. The trial was designed to test for noninferiority, with key secondary objec - tives of testing for superiority with respect to the primary outcome and to the rates of major bleeding and death from any cause. Results The median duration of follow-up was 1.8 years. The rate of the primary outcome was 1.27% per year in the apixaban group, as compared with 1.60% per year in the war - farin group (hazard ratio with apixaban, 0.79; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66 to 0.95; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P = 0.01 for superiority). The rate of major bleeding was 2.13% per year in the apixaban group, as compared with 3.09% per year in the warfarin group (hazard ratio, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.60 to 0.80; P<0.001), and the rates of death from any cause were 3.52% and 3.94%, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.80 to 0.99; P = 0.047). The rate of hemorrhagic stroke was 0.24% per year in the apixaban group, as compared with 0.47% per year in the warfarin group (hazard ra - tio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.75; P<0.001), and the rate of ischemic or uncertain type of stroke was 0.97% per year in the apixaban group and 1.05% per year in the warfarin group (hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.74 to 1.13; P = 0.42). Conclusions In patients with atrial fibrillation, apixaban was superior to warfarin in preventing stroke or systemic embolism, caused less bleeding, and resulted in lower mortality.
