Frailty and Prognosis in Adults 75+ with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study has retrospective and prospective parts to understand how frailty and other admission factors relate to outcomes in elderly ACS patients. Researchers will compare frailty scores and standard risk tools (TIMI, GRACE, Syntax) and look at differences between PCI and conservative treatment. Data will come from medical records and new patient assessments, with follow-up during hospitalization and for six months post-discharge. Findings aim to support more personalized treatment decisions for older adults with ACS.
