and thus risk stratification is essential for decisions on the treatment approach to adopt&#46; The aggressiveness of the strategy should be proportional to the risk of cardiovascular events and take into account the risk of complications&#44; particularly bleeding and renal dysfunction&#46; Two factors make this stratification difficult&#46; Firstly&#44; the decision whether to adopt an invasive or a conservative strategy is taken before assessment of the coronary anatomy&#44; but this is crucial to establishing the patient&#39;s risk level&#46; Secondly&#44; many variables &#8211; risk factors&#44; clinical presentation&#44; and demographic&#44; electrocardiographic and laboratory data&#44; among others &#8211; may affect prognosis&#46; There have therefore been efforts in recent years to develop scoring systems that use multiple variables to provide an overall estimate of risk&#44; not only for cardiovascular events &#40;such as the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction &#91;TIMI&#93;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events &#91;GRACE&#93;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> scores&#41;&#44;

but in this study the authors compared its performance with the GRACE score&#44; which has been widely validated and is recommended in the European Society of Cardiology &#40;ESC&#41; guidelines<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> and a score recently developed by a Canadian group&#44;

30-day and one-year mortality&#44; respectively&#41;&#46; Tim&#243;teo et al&#46;&#44; as well as the group who originally developed the ProACS score&#44; deserve recognition for their work&#44; and the performance of the score should be evaluated in light of the small number of variables used &#40;four&#41; and the fact that they are weighted on a dichotomized basis&#44; making it easy to calculate and thus more likely to be adopted in clinical practice&#46; The complexity of a risk score with multiple variables and relative weightings can be inversely proportional to its ease of application&#44; which may explain why many references to the TIMI score continue to be seen&#44; even though its performance is clearly inferior to that of the GRACE score&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> as has been shown by our group in a study cited in the latest ESC guidelines on ACS&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The other advantage of the ProACS score is that it reflects efforts to develop and validate a risk stratification system based on the clinical characteristics of patients in the Portuguese national ACS registry&#44;

the usefulness and applicability of risk stratification scores may vary across the spectrum of ACS patients&#46; While in non-ST-elevation ACS the considerable heterogeneity of patients and of therapeutic options&#44; together with the recommendation for an immediate invasive strategy &#40;&#60;2 h&#41; for very high risk patients in the latest ESC guidelines&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> make risk stratification imperative&#44; in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction &#40;STEMI&#41; this is less important for initial decision-making and choice of strategy&#44; since in these patients the indication for percutaneous coronary intervention is almost universal and depends more on logistical considerations &#40;such as availability of a catheterization laboratory&#41; than on the level of clinical risk&#46; In view of this difference&#44; it is worth noting that the prevalence of STEMI in the external validation cohort was significantly higher than in the original development cohort from the ProACS registry &#40;62&#46;2&#37; vs&#46; 43&#46;6&#37;&#41;&#44; which may have affected the AUCs reported in the study and may limit generalization of these findings to other centers&#44; although the authors found no significant difference in the performance of the ProACS score in different clinical contexts &#40;with or without ST elevation&#41;&#46; Comparison between the ProACS and GRACE scores clearly reflects the dilemma of risk stratification in ACS&#44; in which there is a delicate balance between complexity and performance&#44; with complexity directly proportional to performance but inversely proportional to adoption in clinical practice &#8211;

and thus risk stratification is essential for decisions on the treatment approach to adopt&#46; The aggressiveness of the strategy should be proportional to the risk of cardiovascular events and take into account the risk of complications&#44; particularly bleeding and renal dysfunction&#46; Two factors make this stratification difficult&#46; Firstly&#44; the decision whether to adopt an invasive or a conservative strategy is taken before assessment of the coronary anatomy&#44; but this is crucial to establishing the patient&#39;s risk level&#46; Secondly&#44; many variables &#8211; risk factors&#44; clinical presentation&#44; and demographic&#44; electrocardiographic and laboratory data&#44; among others &#8211; may affect prognosis&#46; There have therefore been efforts in recent years to develop scoring systems that use multiple variables to provide an overall estimate of risk&#44; not only for cardiovascular events &#40;such as the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction &#91;TIMI&#93;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events &#91;GRACE&#93;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> scores&#41;&#44;

but in this study the authors compared its performance with the GRACE score&#44; which has been widely validated and is recommended in the European Society of Cardiology &#40;ESC&#41; guidelines<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> and a score recently developed by a Canadian group&#44;

30-day and one-year mortality&#44; respectively&#41;&#46; Tim&#243;teo et al&#46;&#44; as well as the group who originally developed the ProACS score&#44; deserve recognition for their work&#44; and the performance of the score should be evaluated in light of the small number of variables used &#40;four&#41; and the fact that they are weighted on a dichotomized basis&#44; making it easy to calculate and thus more likely to be adopted in clinical practice&#46; The complexity of a risk score with multiple variables and relative weightings can be inversely proportional to its ease of application&#44; which may explain why many references to the TIMI score continue to be seen&#44; even though its performance is clearly inferior to that of the GRACE score&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> as has been shown by our group in a study cited in the latest ESC guidelines on ACS&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The other advantage of the ProACS score is that it reflects efforts to develop and validate a risk stratification system based on the clinical characteristics of patients in the Portuguese national ACS registry&#44;

the usefulness and applicability of risk stratification scores may vary across the spectrum of ACS patients&#46; While in non-ST-elevation ACS the considerable heterogeneity of patients and of therapeutic options&#44; together with the recommendation for an immediate invasive strategy &#40;&#60;2 h&#41; for very high risk patients in the latest ESC guidelines&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> make risk stratification imperative&#44; in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction &#40;STEMI&#41; this is less important for initial decision-making and choice of strategy&#44; since in these patients the indication for percutaneous coronary intervention is almost universal and depends more on logistical considerations &#40;such as availability of a catheterization laboratory&#41; than on the level of clinical risk&#46; In view of this difference&#44; it is worth noting that the prevalence of STEMI in the external validation cohort was significantly higher than in the original development cohort from the ProACS registry &#40;62&#46;2&#37; vs&#46; 43&#46;6&#37;&#41;&#44; which may have affected the AUCs reported in the study and may limit generalization of these findings to other centers&#44; although the authors found no significant difference in the performance of the ProACS score in different clinical contexts &#40;with or without ST elevation&#41;&#46; Comparison between the ProACS and GRACE scores clearly reflects the dilemma of risk stratification in ACS&#44; in which there is a delicate balance between complexity and performance&#44; with complexity directly proportional to performance but inversely proportional to adoption in clinical practice &#8211;
