Table 4. Translation of the risk model into an integer score.
| Variable | score |
|---|---|
| CHF/EF<30% | +2 |
| LM/3VD | +1.5 |
| S/P PCI | +2 |
| S/P CVA | +2.5 |
| Age>75 years | -3 |
| Hb<10 | -6 |
| Total score range | -9 to 8 |
CHF = congestive heart failure, CVA = cerebrovascular accident, EF = ejection fraction, Hb = haemoglobin, LM = left main, PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention, S/P = status post, 3VD = triple vessel disease
