About GRACE Risk Score
When to Use
Use this calculator to assess in-hospital and 6-month mortality risk for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The GRACE risk score helps guide treatment decisions and risk stratification.
Pearls/Pitfalls
- Validated in multiple large cohorts
- Includes both STEMI and NSTEMI patients
- Requires accurate patient data for optimal results
- Should be used in conjunction with clinical judgment
Why Use
Provides evidence-based risk stratification for ACS patients, helping clinicians make informed decisions about treatment intensity and resource allocation.
About the Score
The GRACE risk score incorporates multiple variables including age, vital signs, ECG findings, cardiac biomarkers, and clinical presentation to predict mortality risk.
About GRACE Score
Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE)
The GRACE risk score was developed from a large multinational registry of ACS patients. It provides a validated method for risk stratification in both STEMI and NSTEMI patients.
The score helps predict both in-hospital and 6-month mortality risk, allowing clinicians to tailor treatment strategies based on individual patient risk profiles.
