Table 1. Summary of 10 papers published from the Taiwan ACS full spectrum registry.
| Year | Titles | Study questions | Conclusions | References |
| 2011 | Clinical characteristics, management and in-hospital outcomes of patients with acute coronary syndrome - observations from the Taiwan ACS full spectrum registry | Current practices in ACS management, adherence to guidelines and in-hospital outcomes | Median DTN and DTB times were higher. | 3 |
| Secondary preventive therapy during the in-hospital stay and at discharge were suboptimal. | ||||
| There is a need to close the gap between the guidelines and the actual ACS clinical management in Taiwan. | ||||
| 2013 | Effects of clopidogrel on mortality, cardiovascular and bleeding outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease - data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | The efficacy and safety of clopidogrel in patients with ACS and CKD | Clopidogrel could decrease mortality and improve cardiovascular outcomes without increasing risk of bleeding in ACS patients with CKD. | 18 |
| 2014 | Predictors of 1-year outcomes in the Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | Evaluate the ACS management and identify the predictors of clinical outcomes of death/myocardial infarction/stroke 1 year post hospital discharge | Policy adherence, especially with regard to dual antiplatelet therapy may hold the key to long-term favorable outcomes and improved survival rates in ACS patients in Taiwan. | 13 |
| 2014 | Impact of impaired glomerular filtration rate and revascularization strategy on one-year cardiovascular events in acute coronary syndrome: data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | The prognosis and impact of IGFR and invasive strategy on the cardiovascular outcomes in the ACS population | IGFR patients suffering from ACS had poor prognosis. | 21 |
| An invasive strategy could improve cardiovascular outcome in the NSTE-ACS population. | ||||
| 2014 | Use of CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores to predict subsequent myocardial infarction, stroke, and death in patients with acute coronary syndrome: data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | Whether CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were useful tools to assess the risk for adverse events among ACS patients | CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc score were useful predictors of subsequent adverse events in ACS patients. | 28 |
| 2015 | Additive effect of in-hospital TIMI bleeding and chronic kidney disease on 1-year cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome: data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | Whether increased risk of CVE by IHB is influenced by CKD or both have detrimental effects on CVE | IHB or CKD is independently associated with poor cardiovascular outcome. | 36 |
| Patients with both IHB and CKD have the worst outcome in ACS. | ||||
| 2015 | Effects of door-to-balloon times on outcomes in Taiwanese patients receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a report of Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | The relationship between stratified DTB time and outcomes | DTB time is not a good determinant for outcomes in Taiwanese patients receiving primary PCI. | 47 |
| 2016 | Prognostic impact of renal dysfunction in patients with acute coronary syndrome-role beyond the CHA2DS2-VASc score: data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry | Whether the addition of renal dysfunction in the CHA2DS2-VASc score would improve the prognostic impact of the scoring system to predict prognosis among ACS patients | Renal dysfunction is a significant risk factor of future adverse events in ACS patients and may improve the prognostic impact of the CHA2DS2-VASc score. | 32 |
| 2016 | The relation between the timing of percutaneous coronary intervention and outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome with routine invasive strategy - data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum data registry | Optimal timing for high-risk NSTE-ACS patients | PCI within 24-72 hours from symptom onset is demonstrably the optimum time for high-risk NSTE-ACS patients. | 55 |
| Delayed PCI over 72 hours is associated with the worst outcomes and should be avoided. | ||||
| For patients with low risks, routine early PCI < 24 hours after PCI is not beneficial. | ||||
| 2016 | Diabetes and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome - data from Taiwan's acute coronary syndrome full spectrum data registry | The effect of Diabetes on adverse cardiovascular outcomes in ACS patients | Compared to patients without Diabetes, ACS patients with diabetes had significantly worse outcomes in terms of all-cause death and the combined results for death, re-infarction and stroke. | 60 |
