Impact of Residual Syntax Score and Syntax Revascularization Index on Outcomes of ACS Patients With Multi-Vessel Disease

"The baseline SYNTAX score and the residual SYNTAX score (rSS) are calculated by summing up the individual scores for each lesion with a diameter stenosis ≥50% in vessels with a diameter ≥ 1.5 mm in the angiography obtained before and after the procedure. The SYNTAX algorithm of scoring is fully described elsewhere.~The modified Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction (ACEF) score is calculated based on the age, creatinine clearance (CrCl) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), using the formula age/LVEF +1 point for every 10 ml/min/1.73 m2 reduction of CrCl below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (1 point for CrCl between 59 and 50, 2 points for CrCl between 49 and 40 and 3 points for CrCl between 39 and 30 ml/min/1.73 m2). The CrCl is calculated via the Cockroft-Gault equation using age, gender weight and serum creatinine before PCI. The baseline SYNTAX score was then multiplied by the modified ACEF score to obtain the baseline clinical SYNTAX score."

The SYNTAX Revascularization Index (SRI), representing the proportion of CAD burden treated by PCI, was calculated using the following formula: SRI= (1-\[rSS/bSS\]) ×100.
