“Do GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary events) risk scores still maintain their performance for predicting mortality in the era of contemporary management of acute coronary syndromes?”

The GRACE RS for predicting in-hospital and 6-month mortality still maintain their excellent performance in a contemporary cohort of patients with ACS. Further studies are needed to investigate the performance of the 6-month mortality GRACE score in patients undergoing in-hospital PCI. Left ventricular ejection fraction did not convey significant information over that provided by the RS.
