It occurs in about 1% of the patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. The CHA2DS2-VASc score is easily applied in daily practice and the components of this score are similar to common risk factors of the AST. Chronic renal disease has a hypercoagulable state and this condition is associated with an increased risk of AST in STEMI. Since the CHA2DS2-VASc score is insufficient to assess the risk of AST in patients with renal dysfunction, we aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of the modified score, R2CHA2DS2-VASc score in patients with AST. Methods:This cross-sectional study retrospectively included 56 patients withAST and 1493 patients without AST after STEMI. The CHA2DS2-VASc and R2CHA2DS2- VASc scores were compared between the two groups. Results:The median CHA2DS2-VASc and R2CHA2DS2-VASc scores were significantly higher in the AST group (P <0.001, P <0.001, respectively). The R2CHA2DS2-VASc score ?2 was used as a predictor of the AST with a sensitivity of 65% and specificity of 89%. Conclusions: The R2CHA2DS2-VASc score is a simple, cheap, and easily accessible score that can predict AST.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcute stent thrombosisCHA2DS2-VASc scoreR2CHA2DS2-VASc scoreST- segment elevation myocardial infarctionArticlehttps://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/152130852150156
