TLDR
The TIMI Risk Score is a simple clinical tool for risk assessment that may aid in the early identification of patients who should be considered for treatment with potent antiplatelet therapy.Abstract:
Aims We evaluated the TIMI Risk Score for Unstable Angina and Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction for predicting clinical outcomes and the efficacy of tirofiban in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes.
Methods and Results Developed in TIMI 11B, the risk score is calculated as the sum of seven presenting characteristics (age ≥65 years, ≥3 cardiac risk factors, documented coronary disease, recent severe angina, ST deviation ≥0·5mm, elevated cardiac markers, prior aspirin use). The risk score was validated in the PRISM-PLUS database (n=1915) and tested for interaction with the efficacy of tirofiban+heparin vs heparin alone. The risk score revealed an increasing gradient of risk for death, myocardial infarction or recurrent ischaemia at 14 days ranging from 7·7–30·5% ( P <0·001). Dichotomized at the median, patients with a score ≥4 derived a greater relative risk reduction with tirofiban ( P (Interaction)=0·025). Among patients with normal creatine kinase myocardial bands, the risk score showed a 3·5-fold gradient of risk ( P <0·001) and identified a population that derived significant benefit from tirofiban (RR 0·73, P =0·027).
Conclusion The TIMI Risk Score is a simple clinical tool for risk assessment that may aid in the early identification of patients who should be considered for treatment with potent antiplatelet therapy.read more

The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
TL;DR: A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.
