Table 4.

Treatment decision and recommendation according to the SYNTAX score 2020 accepting a predicted absolute risk difference in mortality at 5-year with PCI of less than 4.5% as threshold criterion (the Credo Kyoto criterion) for a legitimate PCI from a long-term survival perspective.

Treatment recommendation
Eligible for PCI Recommended CABG Total
Actual treatment PCI 110 48 158
CABG 23 19 42
Total 133 67 200
Cohen’s kappa = 0.12 (95% CI –0.04–0.29)

Recommendation is based on the absolute risk difference (ARD) of the predicted 5-year mortality rates. If ARD is <4.5%, recommendation is eligible for PCI. If ARD is >4.5%, recommendation is CABG. CI, confidence interval; CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
