Association of CHA2DS2-VASC Score with in-Hospital Cardiovascular Adverse Events in Patients with Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction by Caoyang Fang, Zhenfei Chen, Jing Zhang, Xiaoqin Jin, Mengsi Yang

“…The CHA2DS2-VASc score was higher in the MACE group than in the non-MACE group (P<0.05), and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the CHA2DS2-VASc score was an independent risk factor for MACE events during hospitalization in STEMI patients (OR = 1.391, 95%CI 1.044–1.853, P=0.024); ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the CHA2DS2-VASc score was 0.744, the sensitivity was 0.64, the specificity was 0.694, and the optimal cutoff value was 3.5 in predicting the risk of MACE events during hospitalization in STEMI patients. …”
