Demographics of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Egyptian patients admitted to Assiut University Hospital: Validation of TIMI and GRACE scores

Conclusion ACS occurs at a relatively young age in our locality, in patients sharing common known coronary risk factors. STEMI patients, in our locality, represent approximately one-third of ACS patients and are associated with worse in-hospital as well as 30-day outcomes. Both TIMI and GRACE risk scores are valid for use in ACS patients in the Assiut governorate (c-statistics 0.72–0.97), with a better discriminative ability for the GRACE score, especially in UA/STEMI patients.
