From the Research

El valor de corte para GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) depende de la evaluación de riesgo que se esté realizando, y según el estudio más reciente y de mayor calidad disponible 1, un puntaje de GRACE de 126 se considera el óptimo para predecir una puntuación de SYNTAX ≥ 33, lo que indica una enfermedad coronaria grave. Sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que los umbrales de riesgo para la mortalidad intrahospitalaria y a los 6 meses después del alta también son relevantes.

  • Para la mortalidad intrahospitalaria, un puntaje de GRACE superior a 140 indica alto riesgo, 109-140 indica riesgo intermedio, y por debajo de 109 indica bajo riesgo.
  • Para la mortalidad a 6 meses después del alta, puntajes por encima de 118 indican alto riesgo, 89-118 indican riesgo intermedio, y por debajo de 89 indican bajo riesgo. Estos umbrales ayudan a los clínicos a estratificar a los pacientes con síndromes coronarios agudos para determinar la intensidad del tratamiento y el seguimiento adecuados. El puntaje de GRACE incorpora múltiples variables, incluyendo edad, frecuencia cardíaca, presión arterial sistólica, nivel de creatinina, paro cardíaco al ingreso, desviación del segmento ST, enzimas cardíacas elevadas y clase de Killip. Puntajes más altos se correlacionan con un mayor riesgo de mortalidad, lo que permite a los médicos identificar a los pacientes que pueden beneficiarse de intervenciones más agresivas o un seguimiento más cercano. La reevaluación regular de los puntajes de GRACE durante la hospitalización también puede ayudar a seguir el progreso clínico del paciente, como se menciona en estudios previos 2, 3, 4, 5.
