Unstable Angina Outcome Prediction

 

		Patient more than 65 years old (1 point)
		Patient has had prior CABG (1 point)
		Patient was already on aspirin (1 point)
		Patient was already on beta blocker (1 point)
		EKG with ST depression (1 point)

 

Total Criteria Point Count:
 

 

Risk of Poor Outcome

 

0 to 1 point:	6.5% Risk
2 points:	14.6% Risk
3 points:	22.7% Risk
4 to 5 points:	37.1% Risk

 

Notes
