Predicting long ‐term ischemic events using routine clinical parameters in patients with coronary artery disease: The OPT‐CAD risk score

ConclusionsAmong CAD patients, a risk score based on 10 baseline clinical variables performed better than the GRACE risk score in predicting long ‐term ischemic events. However, further research is needed to assess the value of the OPT‐CAD score in guiding the management of antiplatelet therapy for patients with CAD.
