# Nomogram Predicting In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Myocardial Infarction Treated with Primary Coronary Interventions Based on Logistic and Angiographic Predictors

## TL;DR

This study creates a new tool to predict in-hospital death risk for heart attack patients undergoing a specific heart procedure.

## Contribution

A novel clinical nomogram using modern angiographic and logistic variables for predicting in-hospital mortality after PCI in MI patients.

## Key findings

- Coronary angiography results and suboptimal flow after PCI are important predictors of in-hospital mortality.
- The time of PCI and patient presentation mode contribute to in-hospital mortality.
- The nomogram showed good discrimination (C statistic = 0.848) and satisfactory performance in validation (C statistic = 0.6438).

## Abstract

Background: Systems developed in recent years to assess the risk of in-hospital death in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) are mainly based on angiographic, electrocardiographic, and laboratory variables. Risk systems based on contemporary angiographic data and logistic variables have not been reported. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a system to assess the risk of in-hospital death in patients across the entire clinical spectrum of MI treated with primary coronary intervention (PCI) based on modern angiographic and logistic predictors. Methods: A subgroup of patients from the observational single-centre registry of MI treated with PCIs (from 1 February 2019 until 31 January 2020) was used to develop a multivariate logistic regression model predicting in-hospital mortality. The population (603 patients) was divided, with 60% of the sample used for model derivation and the remaining 40% used for internal model validation. Results: The main findings were as follows: (1) coronary angiography results and suboptimal flow after PCI were important predictors of in-hospital mortality; (2) the time of PCI as well as the mode of presentation of patients with MI contributed to in-hospital mortality; and (3) the discrimination (C statistic = 0.848, 95% CI: [0.765, 0.857]) and calibration (χ2 = 2.78, pHL = 0.94) were good in the derivation set, while the discrimination (C statistic = 0.6438, 95% CI: [0.580, 0.703]) in the validation set was satisfactory. Conclusions: A novel clinical nomogram based on four available logistic and angiographic variables was developed and validated for in-hospital mortality after PCIs in a wide range of MIs.
