The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score was originally focused on the 30-day mortality.

Several risk scores have been developed in order to stratify STEMI patients according to their high/low risk of mortality or complications. The in-hospital mortality of STEMI patients treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) varies between 2.7% and 8.0% and six-month mortality is about 12%, with higher mortality rates among high-risk patients. Of these factors, age, heart failure, time delay to treatment, mode of treatment, history of prior myocardial infarction (MI), diabetes mellitus, renal failure, number of diseased coronary arteries, ejection fraction (EF), in-hospital events (e.g., bleeding, cardiac arrest, progression of heart failure) are important. Mortality of individuals with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is influenced by many factors.
